This is a very well thought out post and thank you for posting it. We cannot depend on warning shots and a mindset where we believe people will “wake up” due to warning shots is unproductive and misguided.
I believe to spread awareness, we need more work that does the following:
Continue to package existing demos of warning shots into a story that people can understand, re-shaping their world view on the risks of AI
Communicate these packages to stakeholders
Find more convincing demos of warning shots
Our base are people who have their own understanding of the issue that motivates them to act or hold their position in the Overton window. They are the people who we bring to our side through hard, grind-y conversations, by clipboarding and petitioning, by engaging volunteers, by forging institutional relationships, by enduring the trolls who reply to your op-ed, by being willing to look weird to your family and friends…
This cannot be overstated, lets put in the work to make this happen, ensuring that our understanding of AI risk is built from first principles so we are resilient to negative feedback!
