I can't understand the "x is bad so y isn't a concern" line of argumentation. Or the "x was already a problem so why are we wasting time worrying about x * z"

I can't understand the "x is bad so y isn't a concern" line of argumentation. Or the "x was already a problem so why are we wasting time worrying about x * z" thing. Can't more than one thing be bad at a time? can't bad things be made worse?

> Can't more than one thing be bad at a time? can't bad things be made worse? The massive consumption of resources on AI research is a real material threat that AI safety people DO NOT TALK ABOUT. What if the real paper clip problem is the power and resources we waste trying to get to AI? And because if it turns into a global or multi national LHC like effort all those PHD's dont get valley rich. You're not wrong, but they aren't right because they aren't putting the issues that would impact them first.
