The AI risks people in the know are afraid of, are indeed what I listed: pretty much any person, anywhere, using an existing model running off their laptop to foment real-world violence or spread disinformation en masse on social media, or use it on a cheap swarm of weaponized/suicide drones, for a few examples That's what we're already seeing today, so we know the risk is there and has a probability of 100%. The "skynet" AI risk is far more fringe and farfetched. So, like you said about climate change, the harm can come from 1 person.
