How would removing Sam Altman significantly reduce extinction risk? Conditional on AI alignment being hard and Doom likely the exact identity of the Shoggoth Summoner seems immaterial.
Just as one example, OpenAI was against SB 1047, whereas Musk was for it. I’m not optimistic about regulation being enough to save us, but presumably they would be helpful, and some AI companies like OpenAI were against even the limited regulations of SB 1047. Plus SB 1047 also included stuff like whistleblower protections, and that’s the kind of thing that could help policymakers make better decisions in the future.
