The whole AI risk vs accelerationism debate strikes me as an intra-bubble squabble between two groups of people who want to define an overton window about the tech industry that focuses on the tech part Personally, I don't think the widespread negative turn public opinion of the tech industry has taken has all that much to do with the tech.
