So who is motivated to dedicate significant time to attacking AI x-risk beliefs, generally in their spare time?

This is exactly analogous to the baffled coiners who couldn't understand why people spent even a minuscule amount of time criticizing Bitcoin, when they weren't remunerated for doing so.

edit

I misread this sentence

Some people find Al gore smug and pretentiousness

as referring to AI gore which is a great term for generated shit.

Also Al Gore was a thing about 30 years ago, maybe update the cultural touchstones.

    Well you should write for the audience you want to reach so I don't see anything wrong with an al gore ref in that context.
