I don’t understand your threat model at all. You’re worried about what sounds like a theoretical concern (or you would’ve provided examples of actual harm done) in the form of a cyber attack against AI safety people who wear these bracelets. Meanwhile we’re aware of a well-documented and omnipresent issue among AI safety people, namely mental health issues like depression, and better health (including from better sleep) helps to mitigate that. Why do you think that in this world, the calculation favors the former, rather than the latter?
(I’m aware that a similar line of argument is also used to derail AI safety concerns towards topics like AI bias. I would take this counterargument more seriously if LW had even a fraction of the concern for cybersecurity which it has for AI safety.)
Besides, why worry about cyberattacks rather than the community’s wrench vulnerability?
