1. I think this is plausible (though I’m unclear on whether you mean ‘we as AI risk research community’ or ‘we as humanity’ here)
2. This bias definitely exists, but AI in the last year has cut through to broader society in a huge way (I keep overhearing conversations on chatgpt and other things in cafes, on trains, etc, admittedly in the cambridge/london area; suddenly random family members have takes etc. It’s showing up in my wife’s social media, and being written about by the political journalists she follows, where it never had before, etc). Ditto (although to a smaller extent) AI xrisk. EA/FTX didn’t cut through to anything at all like the same extent.
Thanks! Re:
