Interesting thought. From what I’ve seen from Yan LeCun, he really does seem to consider AI X risk fears mainly as pure fringe extremism; I’d be surprised if he holds back elements of the discussion just to prevent convincing people the wrong way round.

For example Youtube: Yann LeCun and Andrew Ng: Why the 6-month AI Pause is a Bad Idea shows rather clearly his straightforward worldview re AI safety, and I’d be surprised if his simple dismissal—however surprising—of everything doomsday-ish was just strategic.
(I don’t know which possibility is more annoying)
