I’ve noticed something similar around “security mindset”: Eliezer and MIRI have used the phrase to talk about a specific version of it in relation to AI safety, but the term, as far as I know, originates with Bruce Schneier and computer security, although I can’t recall MIRI publications mentioning that much, possibly because they didn’t even realize that’s where the term came from. Hard to know, a probably not very relevant other than to weirdos like us. ;-)
The initial post by Eliezer on security mindset explicitly cites Bruce Schneier as the source of the term, and quotes extensively from this piece by Schneier.
