    TLDR

    A self-described technology accelerationist says they are “a little bewildered” by how dismissive some people are about existential risks from AI. Despite feeling little personal impact from AI and being strongly predisposed against regulation and apocalyptic thinking, they argue that the trajectory of advances warrants taking those risks seriously. They also consider non-existential risks important, but say they don't see anyone they respect dismissing those.
