Ok, I'm a little scared to put my reputation at risk by saying this, but I think it's important and I think there's a chance I have enough of a platform that speaking up can matter. So here goes. I'm concerned that the meme of "AI risk" is being perverted to destructive ends.

People talk about all sorts of dumb and misguided stuff. There are *so* many open racists on Twitter, for instance. Surely it shouldn't be scarier to say "rent-seeking is bad" than to say the far more heinous stuff that "politically incorrect" culture warriors do?

Curious why you associate the high level meme of “tech is dangerous/needs more supervision” with adversarialism and slowing down. I see transparency/governance generally as being (if well executed) one way to reduce adversarialism, and can even accelerate progress (eg standards)
-
(Though of course many naive proposals along the general lines you indicate, if implemented, would increase adversarialism/slow things down)

Isn't there already quite a lot of rent-seeking going on? I see a handful of gigantic monopolies with huge IP holdings and armies of lawyers who routinely acquire any firm that might pose a competitive risk
