There is no meeting where an actual rational discussion of considerations and theories of change happens, everything really is people flying by the seat of their pants even at highest level. Talk of ethics usually just gets you excluded from the power talk.
This seems overstated. E.g. Musk and Altman both read Superintelligence, and they both met Bostrom at least once in 2015. Sam published reflective blog posts on AGI in 2015, and it’s clear that the OpenAI founders had lengthy, reflective discussions from the YC Research days onwards.

My personal experience was that superintelligence made it harder to think clearly about AI by making lots of distinctions and few claims.
