I actually think there are more people like that on LessWrong; the disagreement score on both their comment and this post has been going up and down a lot, so I think there is high variance. That is, I think there is a genuinely divisive conflict on LessWrong as to whether radicalization to the degree of calling AI developers “murderers” is good thing. (My position: it’s clearly a hyperbolic and thus irresponsible and/or bad-faith way to use the term ‘murder’.)
I did not call anyone a murderer in this thread. I did ask about it a month ago but replies convinced me it wasn’t appropriate. Although I see how even using it as an analogy could cause confusion. I’ll edit my comment.
