While I dislike the silliness that you're alluding to, I think you're using multiple meanings of the phrase 'AI Safety' there all lumped into one negative association.
There are risks, esp in a profit-motivated capitalistic environment. Most researchers don't take the LessWrong in-culture talk seriously. I'm not sure many people are going to be able to actually understand the concerns of people in that group given the way you've presented their opinion(s).

- golol 3y ago> Most researchers don't take the LessWrong in-culture talk seriously Yes but politicians do, for some reason. AI Safety has become a meaningless term, because it is so broad it ranges from "no slurs please" over "diverse skin colors in pictures please" to the completely hypothetical "no extinction plz".
- dragonwriter 3y ago“diverse skin colors in pictures”, and, more critically, “AI” vision systems in government use for public programs should work for people of different skin colors, is not so much “AI safety”, as the kind of AI ethics issue that the broader “AI safety” marketing campaign was designed to marginalize, dilute, and distract from.
