Justis (amid a bunch of useful copy-editing comments) said he does not know what “actively not excited” is supposed to mean, and suggested that maybe I meant “worried.” I do not mean “worried”, and do mean “actively not excited”: when people do this, it makes me less excited by and hopeful about the AI risk movement; it makes me think we’re eating our seedcorn and have less here to be excited about.
