FWIW I work at the AI Safety Institute UK and we’re considering a range of both misuse and misalignment threats, and there are a lot of smart folks on board taking things pretty seriously. I admit I… don’t fully understand how we ended up in this situation and it feels contingent and precious, as does the tentative international consensus on the value of cooperation on safety (e.g. the Bletchley declaration). Some people in government are quite good, actually!
