I’m not sure how to think about this. My intuition is that this doesn’t need to be a problem if people in (my notion of) the AI alignment field just do the best work they can do, so as to demonstrate by example what the larger concerns are. In other words, win people over by being sufficiently exciting rather than by being antagonizing/exclusive. I suppose that’s not very consistent with my comment above.
