That's always been the argument that future AGI scientists won't be as crazy as the lunatics presently doing it - that the current crowd of researchers are self-selected for incaution - but I wouldn't put too much weight on that; it seems like a very human behavior, some of the smarter ones with millions of dollars don't seem of below-average competence in any other way, and the VCs funding them are similarly incapable of backing off even when they say they expect human-level AGI to be created.
Sorry, I'm confused. By "people like this" did you mean people like FinalState or did you mean professional AI researchers? I interpreted it as the first.
AGI researchers sound a lot like FinalState when they think they'll have AGI cracked in two years.
