I didn’t downvote your comment, but for me, “they don’t seem to have failed after achieving AI, so I don’t know if that really tells us much” is an overwhelmingly strong objection to drawing any conclusion about existential risk from the Great Silence.
I’m curious why people hate this comment so much. Is it just that they don’t like hearing that we’re likely to fail?
I’m also curious why most people haven’t upvoted this post by EY. Same reason?

If it’s an overwhelmingly strong objection, why would people downvote me for raising it?
