The techno pessimists on HN are probably not PhDs in computer science. I don’t think they understand what it takes to get there, and how it shapes your thinking afterwards.

Neither Wolf nor Knuth are PhDs in Computer Science, yet many would agree that both understand "what it takes to get there" as do many others who else live sans a PhD in Comp. Sci.
Needlessly pedantic.
Knuth's PhD is in mathematics, like Alan Turing, and many other significant computer scientists.

You don't have to pre warn readers about your comments here, we're all needlessly pedantic.
That aside, the guts of this sub branch is the correlation between {techno pessimists on HN} and {people qualified to understand LLM's (workings and implications)}.
Personally I wouldn't limit set two to "PhDs in computer science" or even accept that {all PhD's in Comp Sci} is a subset of set two, as I made clear with my comment, nor would I argue a lack of overlap between sets one and two.
I'm interested to hear where you stand.
