Well, my model says that what really matters is the opinions of the power-wielding decision makers, and that ‘popular opinion’ doesn’t actually carry much weight in deciding what the US government does. Much less the Chinese government, or the leadership of large corporations.
So my view is that it is the decision-makers currently imagining that the poisoned banana will grant them increased wealth & power who need their minds changed.

My current sense is that efforts to reach the poisoned banana are mostly not driven by politicians. It’s not like Joe Biden or Xi Jinping are pushing for AGI, and even Putin’s comments on AI look like near-term surveillance / military stuff, not automated science and engineering.
Yeah, I agree that that’s what the current situation looks like. More tech CEOs making key decisions than politicians. However, I think the strategic landscape may change quite quickly once real world effects become more apparent. In either case, I think it’s the set of decision makers holding the reins (whoever that may consist of) who need to be updated. I’m pretty sure that the ‘American Public’ or ‘European Public’ could have an influence, but probably not at the level of simply answering ‘AI is scary’ on a poll. Probably there’d need to be like, widespread riots.
