Bella is meeting a psychotherapist, but they treat her fear as something irrational. This doesn’t help, and only makes Bella more anxious. She feels like even her therapist doesn’t understand her.
How would one find a therapist in their local area who’s aware of what’s going on in the EA/rat circles such that they wouldn’t find statements about, say, x-risks as being schizophrenic/paranoid?
I think the recent public statements, media coverage, public discussions, government activity, YouGov polls, etc. have moved the worry about AI x-risk sufficiently into the Overton window. A psychotherapist or a psychiatrist who would suspect paranoia or schizophrenia mainly/primarily upon the expression of such worries today is just a very bad professional.
