Why are you posting this here? My model is that the people you want to convince aren’t on LessWrong and that you should be trying to argue this on Twitter; you included screenshots from that site, after all.
(My model of the AI critics would be that they’d shrug and say “you started it by calling us AI Risk Deniers.”)
Just to check, has anyone actually done that? I don’t remember that term used before. It’s fine as an illustration, just trying to check whether this is indeed happening a bunch.

It’s quite commonly used by a bunch of people at Constellation, Open Philanthropy and some adjacent spaces in Berkeley. It is indeed often not meant as any kind of slur, but seems genuinely used as a way to point towards a real cluster of views.
I’m thinking of a specific recent episode where [i can’t remember if it was AI Safety Memes or Connor Leahy’s twitter account] posted a big meme about AI Risk Deniers and this really triggered Alexandros Marinos. (I tried to use Twitter search to find this again, but couldn’t.)

Fascinating. I was unaware it was used IRL. From the Twitter user viewpoint, my sense is that it’s mostly used by people who don’t believe in the AI risk narrative as a pejorative.

I may have used the term myself a few times.
