    A lot of the folks worried about AI x-risk are also worried about climate, and pandemics, and lots of other things too. It’s not like there’s only one threat.

        Right, the attention being paid to AI risk just seems vastly disproportionate compared to other much more serious imminent threats.

      It’s all about risks, if you worry about being runover ok it’s reasonable, but if you worry about shark attacks when you live in the forest it is ludicrous and a waste of time.

      That’s fair. It just seems lopsided to worry about AI destroying the world when it doesn’t yet show any signs of real intelligence, while the planet is burning up, half the world is on the edge of revolution, and no one in power is pushing hard for any real solutions to those things.
