I don’t think you really explain why section 3 doesn’t mean that the two AI risk theories are in fact competing for public attention. You kind of bring it up, explain how it creates tension between AI killeveryoneism and AI misuse, say it’s kind of bad, and then move on. I don’t see anything explaining away the effect that your group status theory has. You explain why it’s kind of of morally annoying, but you don’t explain why either AI killeveryone-ists or AI misuse-ists should stop competing against each other for public attention .
I think the claim is that they’re not competing for public attention any more than AInotkilleveryoneism is competing with, say, saving the whales. Intuitively that doesn’t sound right. When people think about AI, they’ll think of either one or the other a bit more, so there’s competition for attention there. But attention to a certain topic isn’t a fixed quantity. If AInotkilleveryoneism worked with the current AI harms crowd, we might collectively get more than the sum of public attention we’re getting. Or maybe not, for all I know. I’d love it if we had some more media/marketing/PR people helping with this project.
