I read this yesterday but it only clicked this morning who this bright-eyed bushy-tailed new member probably was haha, if my suspicions are correct I’m very flattered. :)
Much more often I find myself in situations where I’m surrounded by young kids or it’s a really happy occasion and I don’t have it in me to ruin these children’s lives or I don’t want to crash the party, which definitely isn’t good to do anyway; no one will keep AI safety advocates around if they’re always ruining the good times. I’m less sure about whether you should be telling kids about this, maybe watered down versions or on a case-by-case basis. My little brother (14) has read IABIED and is convinced it’s a serious problem but he doesn’t seem to have emotionally reacted to it (probably because he’s religious) which is pretty ideal I think, because he can defend the point if it ever comes up in conversation but I’m not worried about his mental health.
