I wish it were so, but I think the tribal lines create a lot of motivated cognition about the technical details. I don't think there are many blue tribe members who say "yes we agree that rogue AI has a 10+% chance of destroying humanity by 2040, but I still think that it's more important to focus on disparate impact research than AI alignment." They instead just either assign trivial probabilities to existential risks occurring, or just choose not to think about them at all.
