"Think poorly" is such an odd response here.

Like, if people were genuinely doing a thing that had such a large probability of killing all humans... they should all be in prison. Heck, vigilanteism would start to look compelling. I do not understand how somebody can really think "well this is likely to doom all of us so we need to get there as fast as possible because we are, without evidence, the most capable people of controlling this thing."

I mean much more generally than doom.

It's like, Altman's reputation in general is not great, and that includes people who've worked there.
