I do think there’s concern with a popular movement that the movement will move in a direction you didn’t want, but empirically this has already happened for “behind closed doors” lobbying so I don’t think a popular movement can do worse.
There’s also an argument that a popular movement would be too anti-AI and end up excessively delaying a post-AGI utopia, but I discussed in my post why I don’t think that’s a sufficiently big concern.
(I agree with you, I’m just anticipating some likely counter-arguments)
