I think people have yet to realize that this whole AI Safety thing is complete BS. It’s just another veil, like Effective Altruism, to get good PR and build a career around. The only people who truly believe this AI safety stuff are those with no technical knowledge or expertise.
Just saw this on hacker news as a response to Sam Altman Exposes the Charade of AI Accountability. The damage for EA’s reputation is hard to estimate but perhaps real.
