Yeah, I agree with this and doesn’t seem that productive to speculate about people’s views when I don’t fully understand them.
They might say something like: “We’re only asserting that labor and compute are complementary. That means it’s totally possible that slowing down humans would slow progress a lot, but that speeding up humans wouldn’t increase the speed by a lot.” But that just raises the question of why we should think our current labor<>compute ratio is so close to the edge of where further labor speed-ups stop helping.
I discuss this sort of thing in this comment and in a draft post I’ve DM’d you.
