The criticism is expecting counter-criticism. i.e. What I think we’re missing is critics who are in it for the long haul, who see their work as the first step of an iterative process, with an expectation that the AI safety field will respond and/or update to their critiques.
As someone who sometimes writes things that are a bit skeptical regarding AI doom, I find the difficulty of getting counter-criticism frustrating.
