alt Hacker News> FYI: The author has predicted that "AGI" will be here in 1-2 years and has staked his public reputation on it. He is personally invested in trendlines being lindy rather than sigmoid.
I mean, that's called "having an opinion".

And now he's publishing more information about that same opinion he still has. How horrible.

He wrote articles arguing that pro-AI people are dismissive of risks or even suggesting they are intellectually lazy. He's taken a side. if he's wrong I would hope he owns up to it

He co-authored a report, which is something more than an opinion. It may be used to inspire policy. There should be greater reputational consequences for publishing something you spent a few months studying and writing about along with several experts. Just my opinion.
