The very first paragraph of the article ends with extreme concern for being labelled as AI in the future. The whole article builds on that.
Pretending it to be a framing device or that somehow she is magically exempt from that foundational concern on which she further elaborates is a bold claim to make. I simply don't buy your excuse. You cannot have an entire essay be built on an emotional premise and then pretend that the premise doesn't count.
> What is conspicuously missing from your comment is the technological refutation that makes her wrong.
Your skill to read things that are not there is remarkable. Read sentence 1 again. Her being non-technical only makes for being gullible (not flat out wrong) due to a lack of understanding the nuances.
> But that would require a nuanced refutation and not just cheap shots.
Read the article's paragraph talking about Jacob Coxen, then the subsequent paragraph about bunkers and Thiel's anti christ and then further down about Jacob Coxen again.
The context of the former Anthropic employee fear mongering about world-ending and pointing to the Hugging Face attack as the primary evidence as if we developers are gullible enough to buy that is well known. If buying into that isn't a lack of understanding the nuances (due to being gullible), you tell me what is?
If you had attentively read both the article and my original comment, you would have understood the context and the content.
Ironically, your cheap shots argument has now demonstrably applied to you.
