I’d say the absence of names from Facebook, Amazon, and Apple in general are worrying, as well as that there were only two from Microsoft. Apple’s absence, in particular, is what keeps me up at night.
What is it about hardware. I’ve never seen anyone from there express concern.
I wonder if it’s that, for anyone else in AI, their research is either fairly neutral—not accelerating towards AGI, or if it is in AGI, it could be repurposed towards alignment. But if your identity is rooted in hardware, if you admit to any amount of extinction risk, there’s no way for you to keep your job and stay sane?
Yann LeCun at least is very, very, loudly and repeatedly open on Twitter about considering X-risk a bunch of doomerist nonsense, so we know where he (and thus, Facebook) stands.

Does anyone see any hardware names?

We don’t hear much about Apple in AI—curious why you rank them so important.
