I just want to point out that safety-washing is term I heard a lot when I was working on AI Ethics in 2018. It seemed like a pretty well-known term at the time, at least to the people I talked to in that community. Not sure how widespread it is in other disciplines.
Interesting, I checked LW/Google for the keyword before writing and didn’t see much, but maybe I missed it; it does seem like a fairly natural riff, e.g. someone wrote a similar post on EA forum a few months later.

I think most of our conversations about it were on Twitter and maybe Slack so maybe that makes a difference?
