> If it makes you angry that people want to work to build AGI

What's this, a second straw-man? So quickly after the first?

TFA never condemned invention or hard work, nor does it agree with the "doomers" who consider the target-invention to be fundamentally bad. At most it's a critique of a set of beliefs/rationalizations plus choices made by investors.

> makes you angry [...] people who have thought about it a lot more than you [...] repeatedly yelling [...] "you're a fool!"

Who's angry? Who's making it personal?

I think reading the article made you angry... and you're projecting it onto everybody else.
