Seems like there’s still self-selection going on, depending on how much you think ‘a lot’ is, and how good you are at finding everyone who have thought about it that much. You might be missing out on people who thought about it for, say, 20 hours, decided it wasn’t important, and moved on to other cause areas without writing up their thoughts.
On the other hand, it seems like people are worried about and interested in talking about AGI happening in 20 or 30 or 50 years time, so it doesn’t seem likely that everyone who thinks 10-year timelines are <10% stops talking about it.
