I actually did try to generate a similar list through community discussion (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/dSaScvukmCRqey8ug/convince-me-that-humanity-is-as-doomed-by-agi-as-yudkowsky), which while it didn’t end up going in the same exact direction as this document, did have some genuinely really good arguments on the topic, imo.
I also don’t feel like many of the points you brought up here were really novel, in that I’ve heard most of this from multiple different sources already (though admittedly, not all in one place).
On a more general note, I don’t believe that people are as stupid compared to you as you seem to think they are. Different people’s modes of thinking are different than yours, obviously, but just because there isn’t an exact clone of you around doesn’t mean that we are significantly more doomed than in the counterfactual. I don’t want to diminish your contributions, but there are other people out there as smart or smarter than you, with security mindset, currently working in this problem area. You are not the only person on earth who can (more or less) think critically.
