I agree with much of RobertM’s comment; I read the same essay, and came away confused.
One thing I think might be valuable: if you were to explain your object-level criticisms of particular arguments for AI safety advanced by researchers in the field—for instance, this one or this one.
Given that there are (what I think are) strong arguments for catastrophic risks from AI, it seems important to engage with them and explain where you disagree—especially because the Cosmos Institute’s approach seems partially shaped by rejecting AI risk narratives.
