A huge problem is that people are developing this longtermism prediction model based on nothing more than sci-fi books and hunches. You need only look at how seriously places like SSC take Roko's Basilisk to see that they aren't modeling the future of AI in a reasonable way.
It is like donating to an organization that will prevent Vulcan, God of Volcanoes from destroying civilization.
