> Most researchers don't take the LessWrong in-culture talk seriously

Yes but politicians do, for some reason. AI Safety has become a meaningless term, because it is so broad it ranges from "no slurs please" over "diverse skin colors in pictures please" to the completely hypothetical "no extinction plz".



“diverse skin colors in pictures”, and, more critically, “AI” vision systems in government use for public programs should work for people of different skin colors, is not so much “AI safety”, as the kind of AI ethics issue that the broader “AI safety” marketing campaign was designed to marginalize, dilute, and distract from.
