Is the whole x risk thing as common outside of North America? Realizing I've never seen anyone from outside the anglosphere or even just America/Canada be as God killingly Rational as the usual suspects

    Might be semi-related: the german aerospace/automotive/industrial research agency has an "AI Safety" institute (institute = top level department).

    I got a rough impression from their website. They don't seem to be doing anything that successful. Mostly fighting the unwinnable battles of putting AI in everything without sucking and twiddling machine learning models to make them resilient against malicous data. Besides trying to keep the torch of self-driving cars alive for the german car industry. Oh, and they're doing the quantum AI bit.

    They're a fairly new institute, and I heard rumors they're not doing great. Maybe the organization resists the necessary insanity to generate new AI FOMO at this point. One can dream.

    First reported suicide caused/encouraged/suggested by AI was a Belgian man as far as I can find. Stupidity and susception to gullibility is not an isolated American trait
