Someone needs to be doing mass outreach about AI Safety to techies in the Bay Area.
I’m generally more of a fan of niche outreach over mass outreach, but Bay Area tech culture influences how AI is developed. If SB 1047 is defeated, I wouldn’t be surprised if the lack of such outreach ended up being a decisive factor.
There’s now enough prominent supporters of AI Safety and AI is hot enough that public lectures or debates could draw a big crowd. Even though a lot of people have been exposed to these ideas before, there’s something about in-person events that make ideas seem real.
