My read on the situation is that I am happy for people to reach out to their close friends, and generally expect little harm to come from that, but encourage people to be very hesitant to reach out to large communities or the public at large.
This article struck me as more asking for advice on how to get people you are already close to interested in AI alignment, which strikes me as significantly less high-variance.
Oh, good, that seems much less dangerous. Usually when people talk about “raising awareness” they’re talking about mass awareness, protests, T-shirts, rallies, etc.
Yeah, want to add that my initial response to the post was strongly negative (becase pattern matching), but after a closer reading (and the title change <3) I’m super happy with this post.
