"We Alchemists are coming close to creating the Philosopher's Stone, the most impactful achievement of mankind -- maybe making everyone immortal, maybe wiping out all life. We know it's very dangerous, but we're committed to making it happen safely!" --16th century proto-chemist

Which are plenty, are largely absent from the public debate, in large part because of PR campaigns to make sci-fi scenarios that are profoundly disconnected from reality sound believable and scary. That discrepancy and the fear-mongering around AI are worrying in their own right

Knowledge development or discovery is an autonomous process, independent of its consequence. Managing the later is primarily a political process and has very little to do with the former.

Some people can sketch AGI and they cannot see the difference of that sketch with how a physicist might have sketched out the A-bomb in the early 1930s. You choose what you worry about, they choose what they worry about.

"Until then, I'll worry about the actual, describable risks of ML applications" Exactly, ML is already problematic - surveillance advertising business models, addicitive ML algorithm loops, U.S. election, etc... - now imagine full blown sophisticated AI.
