I liked that you found a common thread in several different arguments.
However, I don’t think that the views are all believed or all disagreed with in practice. I do think Yann LeCun would agree with all the points and Eliezer Yudkowsky would disagree with all the points (except perhaps the last point).
For example, I agree with 1 and 5, agree with the first half but not the second half of 2 disagree with 3 and have mixed feelings about 4.
Why? At a high level, I think the extent to which individual researchers, large organizations and LLMs/AIs need empirical feedback to improve are all quite different.
