Bensky: I had met one woman who had been to 42 Trump rallies—she’s very well known in the community. And she said that when Trump had said, “Are we still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” that something in her switched. She said, “I can’t support him. I can’t support MAGA.”

But I think it's a mistake to use that to conclude they're crazy, delusional, or just engaged in hype to make money. As in climate, there is evidence in the world to assess and there is a ton of mounting real-world evidence that this is a technology that is getting much more powerful and dangerous.
I find the ideological hothouse around AI - rationalism, effective altrusim - super weird and alienating. I don't share the worldview of most of the people, and obviously almost everyone involved in the entire debate has enormous financial stakes in the outcomes.
Basically: I just don't trust the people telling me this is a big problem, so it must not be.
One of the stubborn dynamics in climate politics is conservatives being simply unwilling to believe that their ideological opponents were/are right about something very important. Lots of conservatives really did covince themselves it was all a conspiracy to impose more government control.
