Practicing engineers are more skeptical about AI being an imminent threat than, academics. Tied to coping strategies we pick up on the job
1. If a technical project is ill-defined, it will take much longer than expected to complete

2. People who aren't working on the implementation themselves grossly underestimate the time and complexity involved
-
These are coping strategies for dealing with ubiquitous double-binds, ego-threats, in the workplace, so my credence in them goes down
-
But not down enough. I still think AI risk is more of a marketing strategy for AI research than an actual risk
