As someone who most of my time here critiquing EA/rationalist orthodoxy, I don’t think you have much to worry about, besides annoying comments. A good faith critique presented politely is rarely downvoted.
Also, I feel like there’s selection bias going on around the quality of posts. The best, super highly upvoted posts may be extremely high quality, but there are still plenty of posts that aren’t (and that’s fine, this is an open forum, not an academic journal).
I’d be interested in reading your list of lethalities response. I’m not sure it would be that badly recieved, for example, this response by quinton pope got 360 upvotes. List of lethalities seems to be a fringe view even among AI x-risk researchers, let alone the wider machine learning community.
