I’m concerned with the ethics.
Is it wrong to doom speak to strangers? Is that the most effective thing here? I’d be lying if I said I was fine, but would it be best to tell them I’m “mildly concerned”?
How do convey these grave emotions I have while maximally getting the people around me to care about mitigating AI risk?
Should I compromise on truth and downplay my concerns if that will get someone to care more? Should I expect people to be more receptive to the message of AI risk if I’m mild about it?
What do I tell the people who I know but can’t spend lots of time with?
Clarification: How do I get relative strangers who converse with me IRL to maximally care about the dangers of AI?
Do I downplay my concerns such that they don’t think I’m crazy?
Do I mention it every time I see them to make sure they don’t forget?
Do I tolerate third parties butting in and making wrong statements?
Do I tell them to read up on it and pester them on whether they read it already?
Do I never mention it to laymen to avoid them propagating wrong memes?
Do I seek out and approach people who could be useful to the field or should I just forward or mention them to someone who can give the topic a better first impression than me?
