Note, something in your framing here seems focused on psychologizing in a way that feels unnecessary and unhelpful, although I’m not sure whether I particularly object to it. [Specifically, the part where your question title is “why are we complacent?” rather than “why aren’t more people taking Particular Actions or prioritizing AI Hell above AI extinction”]
Good point. I can still change it. What title would you vote for? I spent a lot of time vacillating between titles and don’t have a strong opinion. These were the options that I considered:
Why not s-risks? A poll.
Why are we so complacent about AI hell?
Why aren’t we taking s-risks from AI more seriously?
Why do so few people care about s-risks from AI?
Why are we ignoring the risks of AI hell?
What’s holding us back from addressing s-risks from AI?
Why aren’t we doing more to prevent s-risks from AI?
What will it take to get people to care about s-risks from AI?
“Why aren’t more people prioritizing work on S-risks more heavily” seems better to me and seems like the question you probably actually care about. Question-titles that are making (in many cases inaccurate) claims about people’s motivations seem more fraught and unhelpfully opinionated.

Thx! I’ll probably drop the “more heavily” for stylistic reasons, but otherwise that sounds good to me!
