I feel like these people aren't even really worried about superintelligence as much as hyping their stock portfolio that's deeply invested in this charlatan ass AI shit.
There's some useful AI out there, sure, but superintelligence is not around the corner and pretending like it is acts just another way to hype the stock price of these companies who claim it is.
On the contrary, many of the most notable signatories walked away from large paychecks in order to raise the alarm. I'd suggest looking into the history of individuals like Bengio, Hinton, etc. There are individuals hyping the bubble like Altman and Zuckerberg, but they did NOT sign this, casting further doubt on your claim.
Geoffrey Hinton, retired Google employee and paid AI conference speaker, has nothing bad to say about Google or AI relationship therapy.
