The subject of your post is the recurring patterns of avoidance you’re observing, without mentioning the impact on those more receptive and willing to engage. Nevertheless, I figure you’d still appreciate examples of the latter:
A link to the GD website was sent to me by a relatively distance acquaintance. This is a person of not-insignificant seniority at one of the FAANGs, whose current job is now hitched to AI. They have no specific idea about my own thoughts about AI risk, so my inference is that they send it to anyone they deem sufficiently wonky. The tone of the message in which they sent the link was “holy smokes, we are totally screwed,” suggesting strong buy-in to the paper’s argument and that it had an emotional impact.
