Exactly. There was an article floating around just a couple of days ago that from what I recall was saying that billionaires were funding these AI-scare studies in top universities, I presume to distract the public from the very real and near scare of climate disaster, economic inequality, etc. Here, unfortunately paywalled: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/05/ai-apocalypse-college-students/
A lot of the folks worried about AI x-risk are also worried about climate, and pandemics, and lots of other things too. It’s not like there’s only one threat.
It’s all about risks, if you worry about being runover ok it’s reasonable, but if you worry about shark attacks when you live in the forest it is ludicrous and a waste of time.
