I assume the “disagree” votes are implying that this will help get us all killed.
It’s true that if we actually convinced ourselves this was the case, it would be an excuse to ease up on alignment efforts. But I doubt it would be that convincing to that many of the right people. It would mostly be an excuse for a sensible chuckle.
Someone wrote a serious theory that the Trump election was evidence that our world is an entertainment sim, and had just been switched into entertainment mode from developing the background. It was modestly convincing, pointing to a number of improbabilities that had occurred to produce that result. It wasn’t so compelling or interesting that I remember the details.

Oh I just assumed that people who disagreed with me had a different sense of humor than I did! Which is totally fine, humor is famously subjective :)
