I think it’s essential to ask some questions first:
Why do people hold these views? (Is it just their personality, or did somebody in this community do something wrong?)
Is there any truth to these views? (As can be seen here, anti-AI safety views are quite varied. For example, many are attacks on the communities that care about them rather than the object-level issues.)
Does it even matter what these particular people think? (If not, then leave them be.)
Only then should one even consider engaging in outreach or efforts to improve optics.
