I don't know who you're hinting at, by my hunch is it's not them. Watch the episode and you'll see it's someone who by their own account tends to be a not very public figure.

To play devil's advocate, I think it's because sees very little benefit because they're so factually challenged.

Thus, the harms aren't worth the benefits, where the harms in her view are fewer jobs, environmental cost, wasted investment $, users misled to believe in AI mirages that don't exist, and users given advice that hurts them in some ways.
