Ok, you’ve completely changed your comment several times now and I’m not going to keep updating mine in response. I’m currently responding to some survey of NeurIps participants regarding long run (negative) effects of advanced AI on humanity. A weighted average of 5% expecting something really bad in the long run doesn’t concern me personally, and it’s a hypothetical concern that is not actionable. I’ll be concerned when there exists a well-defined issue to address with concrete actions. I’m already concerned about the development of AI likely resulting in everything on the internet needing to be tied to a personal identity to be distinguishable from spam, but I’m also confident we’ll find a good solution to the problem.

Right so you just come to a different conclusion on the risk-acceptance level. You don't believe there's no risk, nor do you actually believe that people working close to AI believe there's no risk. You just choose to accept the risk. Obviously that's your prerogative, but it should be clear why it's wildly dishonest to portray anyone who's concerned and arrives at a different risk-acceptance level as ignorant. Also, "we don't know what to do about the risk" != "only ignorant people think there's a risk."
