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.

Yeah, there's nothing much to say in terms of direct criticism since I consider it entirely incoherent religiosity (cf: Roko's Basilisk type stuff). It's like criticizing the metaphysics of scientology. The useful conversation is adjacent to "AI Risk".

over time I've come to appreciate your old posts more, particularly this issue of "weirding." the ways that change starts with early-adopting originators and gradually diffuses outward to change & be changed by larger populations of people.

What is “it”? I can’t tell whether you’re talking about AI risk in general or a subset. (Roko’s Basilisk is at best a subset, at worst a strawman, but often taken as representative of the field.)
