I don’t really agree or like your comment very much, but I think buried underneath the negativity there is something valuable about making sure not to be too personally invested in what you believe about AI. You should be able to change your mind without that affecting your public reputation or whatever. It is possible some people have found meaning in the AI alignment mission, and if it turned out that mission was counterproductive, it may be hard for people to accept that.
