I was trying to map out disagreements between people who are concerned enough about AI risk.
Agreed that this represents only a fraction of the people who talk about AI risk, and that there are a lot of people who will use some of these arguments as false justifications for their support of racing.
EDIT: as TsviBT pointed out in his comment, OP is actually about people who self-identify as members of the AI Safety community. Given that, I think that the two splits I mentioned above are still useful models, since most people I end up meeting who self-identify as members of the community seem to be sincere, without stated positions that differ from their actual reasons for why they do things. I have met people who I believe to be insincere, but I don’t think they self-identify as part of the AI Safety community. I think that TsviBT’s general point about insincerity in the AI Safety discourse is valid.
Um, no, you responded to the OP with what sure seems like a proposed alternative split. The OP’s split is about
people who self-identify as members of the AI safety community
I think you are making an actual mistake in your thinking, due to a significant gap in your thinking and not just a random thing, and with bad consequences, and I’m trying to draw your attention to it.
