Not mutually exclusive:
- some ai risk people believe
- some ai risk people believe but are falling prey to motivated reasoning and biases
- some ai risk people are cynically taking advantage of the situation
These aren’t monoliths. All of these things are true about some rapture believers too.
@frogsgent.bsky.socialI don't doubt the sincerity of AI risk people the same way I don't doubt the sincerity of people who stockpile canned goods because they think the Rapture's going to happen in their lifetime.
