If I understand your section “Avoid Being Seen As ‘Not Serious’” correctly—that the reason policymakers don’t want to support “wierd” policies is not because they’re concerned about their reputation but rather that they just are too busy to do something that probably won’t work—this seems like it should meaningfully change how many people outside of politics think about advocating for AI policy. It was outside my model anyway.
The question to me is, what, if anything, is the path to change if we don’t get a crisis before it is too late? Or, do we just have to place our chips on that scenario and wait for it to happen?
