Their differences seem to come more from a dispositional optimism or pessimism about AI and what it could be for, but, even then, it's not as though both groups don't have an affinity for neo-Luddism.

The concept of free will intersecting with psychological phenomena, such as dispositional optimism, depressive realism, and the illusion of control, is consistent with Nietzsche's understanding of free will and the interplay between individual agency and external influences.

Unlike happiness and other emotions that ebb and flow throughout the day, dispositional optimism is essentially a personality trait and — unless you intentionally work at it — is mostly stable over time. https://t.co/wcsKrqbtls @dailyom
