"They're lying." is cope.
If anything they're lying by hiding how afraid and defeatist they are. know these people. Ask anyone else who knows them. At most some of the CEOs might be exaggerating what they think to go along with employee sentiment they don't believe.

This is a critique of Western white collar man full stop.
Everybody else is at least as deluded and incapable of action as AI scientists. They are at least deluded in ignoring the plain evidence of what many many people in frontier AI labs actually believe about technology.

The sad broken part is that the AI scientists firmly do believe this on average.
They are unable to act because they're modern well educated broken Westernes, and thus feel deep in their soul they're unable to act in ways contrary to their social role without permission.

Admirable in a way, a kind of ethos. A kind of anti-Roman.

It turned out the greatest vice of the last man isn't excessive desire for powe but an obstinate refusal to be in charge of outcomes and a deep resentment of anyone who makes them to do so, even in face of death.

Both sides are firmly committed to not blinking and continue insisting the other side simply doesn't understand the situation, desperately trying to avoid admitting that they do, and then being the one to obliged to make decisions and seize authority over the issue.
