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.
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.
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.
