the AGI doom memeplex has, to some extent, a symbiotic relationship with the race toward AGI memeplex
I mean, if you say it could increase the amount of people working in capabilities at first I would agree, but it probably increases a lot more the amount of people working on safety and wanting to slow/ stop capabilities research, which could create legislation and at the end of the day increase time until AGI.
In respect of the other cons of the doom memeplex I kinda agree to a certain extent but I don’t see them come even close to the pros of potentially having lots of people actually taking the problem very seriously.
