Gossiping and questioning people about their positions on AGI are prosocial activities!
Surely this depends on how the norm is implemented? I can easily see this falling into a social tarpit where people with mixed agree/disagree with common alignment thinking must either prove ingroup membership by forswearing all possible benefits of getting AGI faster, or else they are otherwise extremized into the neargroup (the “evil engineers” who don’t give a damn about safety).
I’m not claiming you’re advocating this. But I was quite worried about this when I read the quoted portion.
