Mostly, the actions I see people taking (and exhorting others to take) on LW are “do research” and “fund others doing research,” to the negligible extent that any AI-related action is taken here at all. And you seem to support those actions.
But, sure… I guess I can see how taking a far goal seriously might in principle lead to future actions other than research, and how those actions might be negative, and I can sort of see responding to that by campaigning against taking the goal seriously rather than by campaigning against specific negative actions.

Thanks for clarifying.
