Not sure why you’d think this post would be downvoted. I suspect most people are more than welcoming of dissenting views on this topic. I have seen comments with normal upvotes as well as agree/disagree votes, I’m not sure if there’s a way for you to enable them on your post.
There’s a cohort that downvotes posts they think are wrong, and also a cohort that downvotes posts they think are infohazards. This post strikes me as one that these two cohorts might both choose to downvote, which doesn’t mean that it is wrong or that it is an infohazard.
I am expecting tons of downvotes coming especially from the first group. I am criticizing one position that has become almost a defacto standard in the community and there are many people with super high karma working on the alignment problem that won’t appreciate this post. That’s ok, I’m not doing it for the karma.
Yes, I can think of several reasons why someone might downvote the OP. What I should have said is “I’m not sure why you’d think this post would be downvoted on account of the stance you take on the dangers of AGI.”

For what it’s worth, I feel welcomed here despite my perennial optimism.
I downvoted this post for the lack of arguments (besides the main argument from incredulity).
