I am not as cynical as you but I see your point. I think many in the "Ethics in AI" community are terrible in communicating their ideas. They also have the tendency to claim moral superiority (supremacy?) whenever mere mortals like Yann Lecun make sensible observations.

That was a disgusting moment to watch. They refused to debate the issue in a proper format (meaning not Twitter). They called on him for being part of a privileged class (white man) as if that explains his accomplishments. Later I got interested to know more about their views so I found out they have a policy of not giving a "platform" to their opponents - refusing to debate them in other words, preferring cancellations, shaming and appeals to emotion instead.
