Fascinating trend, AI’s ability to handle long, complex tasks is accelerating fast. A decade from now, automation could reshape entire industries, especially in software development. Curious to see how this scales beyond coding into other professional fields!

Great question! It seems like a mix of factors—polarization, fatigue from the prolonged crisis, and a tendency to move on once immediate danger fades. Many also see it as a ‘one-off’ rather than a broader warning. Survey research could be valuable in understanding public perception and how it applies to future risks like biorisk and AI safety.
Interesting perspective on the power dynamics between funders and organizations. Deference can be useful, but it’s concerning when it leads to unquestioned pivots or ineffective funding decisions. More diverse funding sources and balanced feedback loops could help break the cycle. Curious what solutions have worked in other ecosystems!
