I don’t see many productive ways this continues so I’ll keep it short.
If someone thinks you’re making poor decisions, and wants to see your downfall, silence is the best way to go about that. Engaging with you further is not, and should probably clue you in that that’s not their primary motivation.
Chalking up anything negative anyone says about your work as part of The Big Plot Against You closes the door to productive conversation quickly. You entrench yourself and flag that there’s little chance you change your mind, and I then question why I’m responding.
“PauseAI doesn’t need you” takes the door you were already closing and slams it shut. I truly hoped for better.
EAs can take any excuse they want not to join PauseAI, these^ are all great. I want people to come to the movement bc they want to pursue that intervention, not bc I was nice to them and never challenged their ideology. And, yes, there is a big world, so we don’t need you if you’re conflicted. I’d like you to at least doubt yourselves before you cause more damage as EA, though.
