Fair! My point is that while I don’t think they randomly pick targets to attack, I don’t think their target-selection rubric is at all calibrated to who is actually bad or good. I think they attack EA because they think that’ll help them win, and they would do that even if EA were not seeking power and influence.
What’s your explanation for why they attack EAs rather than, say, the AI ethics crowd?
Why was SB 1047 so controversial, while other much more onerous AI bills (esp for “little tech”) were barely discussed?
If you think their goal is just to win, why attack the movement that has power and can coordinate funding to counter their actions? What exactly are they trying to win, and why would EA stop them from achieving that (if EA were not seeking power and influence)?
(I am not claiming that their target-selection rubric is calibrated to who is actually bad or good and idk why you would think that. I feel like you are committing some kind of fallacy where in any conflict there is a “good” side and a “bad” side and this is causing you to read implications into my comments that I don’t intend.)
