Hello Mr. Soares, I already addressed the extinction threat in an article a few days ago. It's not that those of us who are e/acc deny AI presents a danger. I deny that ASI presents more of an imminent extinction threat than other competing ones I can think just off the top of my head: collapsing birth rates, global warming, nuclear war. Two of those three at least have real (if debated) trajectories. It also doesn't come off convincing to us when certain frontier companies beg for centralized oversight and to slow down development, while also speeding up model releases. Nor when EA actively participates in accelerating AI. You have the power to personally "throw a wrench" so to speak. You could file any number of complaints or allegation to plunge them into regulatory hell if not bankruptcy. I saw where you almost argued that you were a co-founder of OpenAI, that seems like a good litigation route alone. But none of you will stake yourself to stop AI development, presumably because your own probability calculations involve something like "AI development will likely continue elsewhere, and it's better if we do it having billions from the IPOs." It's always about demanding everyone else has to give up something. But here's a bigger problem. All the solutions that EAs have presented require creating an immense amount of centralized governance. This is a country that has shed immense amounts of blood on the radical notion of natural rights. We don't want some global government to have a kill switch in our CPUs or policing our own vibe-coding. We certainly don't want those who agree with Yudkowsky to be in charge of "safety" anything, not when he considers killing toddlers to be less of an ethical issue than eating bacon. We know tyrants when we see them. IMO, EAs reinvented sun worship. Everything gets organized around appeasing and manifesting the will of a silicon deity. It's no different than how pagans organized their lives around what the sun might do to their crops. Even the shrimp thing is a self-projection: if we're kind to shrimp, maybe the silicon deity will be kind to us.
