I mean I guess the basic response here is that this is because the environment you pay attention to and consider noteworthy is the news, which is different from the environment I pay attention to and consider noteworthy.
I feel like these old Slate Star Codex posts are relevant here: https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/05/18/against-bravery-debates/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/05/18/against-bravery-debate... https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/06/09/all-debates-are-bravery-debates/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/06/09/all-debates-are-braver...

And I do think a lot of people who might not read HN or be involved in online discussions get their information from "the news." So I do think it's relevant that they're couching things in terms of fears about sentient AI rather than pointing out how flawed algorithmic systems are already causing damage to people.
