Campaigns for general “public awareness” seem less effective than communicating with particular groups of people since some groups of people are more influential than others for AGI risk. The “AGI Safety Communications Initiative” is a group of people thinking about effective communication.
In terms of telling your favorite streamer about AGI risk, the best approach depends on the person. Think about what arguments will make sense to them. Definitely check out “Resources I send to AI researchers about AI safety.”
It seems like this might be a result of an aversion to bad press, but the truth is that bad press would be significantly better than what we have now. As far as I can see we have no press.

There has definitely been some critical press. Check out Steven Pinker in Popular Science (which Rob Miles responded to). Or perhaps this NYT Opinion piece by Melanie Mitchell (note there’s also a debate between her and Stuart Russell). Also see Ted Chiang (Scott Alexander responded) and Daron Acemoglu (Scott Alexander responded again).
