To go a step further, I think it’s important for people to recognize that you aren’t necessarily just representing your own views; poorly articulated views on AI safety could crucially undermine the efforts of many people who are trying to persuade important decision-makers of these risks. I’m not saying to “shut up,” but I think people need to at least be more careful with regards to quotes like the one I provided above—especially since that last bullet point wasn’t even necessary to get across the broader concern (and, in my view, it was wrong insofar as it tried to legitimize the specific claim).
