how do we get people to take our concerns about being paperclipped by the acausalrobotgod seriously?

If people have wrong beliefs or don't take things seriously that should be taken seriously (e.g. space property rights), just tell them. Reasonable people update on reasonable arguments.

Space property rights.

...

At least this article exposes quite well how the EA stuff about animal welfare is used as a front/greenwashing(ish) sort of thing.

    It came out today that Leopold Aschenbrenner (he of the situational awareness fund implosion fame) was also telling everyone who'd listen about how he was going to be buying up galaxies as soon as AI progress made access to them a piece of cake.

    Basically outer space manifest destiny is an important part of AI2040, AI Future's sort of summer sequel to AI2027, I'd say it appears to be well on its way to become another rationalist Weird Accepted Truth.
