I want to highlight that AI existential risk isn't just an "EA thing". You don't need to be especially altruistic to care. It's more a thing about your beliefs about the future. Personally I think there is significant existential risk from AI during my lifetime

It seems kind of useful to note the difference between AI existential risk and other kinds of AI safety. The former has more associations with EA & Longtermism but imo this isn't necessary either. You can just care about your own survival / the survival of your friends and family

I think everyone normie who still wants to live, or who has kids, has necessarily learned a habit of tuning out all that gloomy talk about "the future". We who were raised transhumanist are unusual in that we both think about the future and also want humanity to live.
