RE meetings with FHI/DeepMind (etc.): I think “aren’t familiar with or aren’t convinced” is part of it, but there are also political elements to all of this.
In general, I think most everything that is said publicly about AI-Xrisk has some political element to it. And people’s private views are inevitably shaped by their public views somewhat (in expectation) as well.
I find it pretty hard to account for the influence of politics, though. And I probably overestimate it somewhat.
