If you believe that certain organizations increase the chances of human extinction significantly, then
it is fine to criticize these orgs
it is fine to criticize the people working at these orgs
it is fine to criticize the people working at these orgs even when those people are EAs
it is fine to apply additional scrutiny if these people receive extraordinarily high compensation for working at these orgs
That being said, in a lot of cases it is not obvious, whether a person’s work at an AI org is net positive or not. It might very well be the case that the overall org is net negative, while an individual person who works at this org has a net positive contribution. But discussing when an individual’s contribution to AI is net positive and when not should not be off-limits.
