Hm, replace "AI will kill us all" with "Communism will kill us all", and the fanaticism and closed minds suddenly feels scarily familiar. Echo-chambers based on emotions - 'Lynch-mobs' - are an ugly thing to work with.

I don't have any time atmo, but to dive in and resolve it, we could try to explore the space fully our selves. Most of the people there likely won't recognise root-causes, or current position like an anti-cap system-critic can, and we can change position/perspectives temporarily between our own, theirs and from a new intellectual 'species' and explore what paths leads from that starting point A, to potential AI-doom scenarios B, like blade-runner/2077 style eternal fascism by elite shtters, to outright death of us all by completely new overlords taking over.

Point is that we likely doesn't need their strong emotions, and hence locked down intellect, to explore that space and we can then map peoples attitudes/claims in and see where they diverge in initial observations, assumed premises, and path conclusions.

We can then put forward arguments that puncture large groups of paths. A lynch-mob will oc not listen, but a positive side-effect is that our own attitudes/beliefs also get a reality check - as none of us actually knows all the potential paths and end games - and hopefully/expectedly, they are not right that all paths lead to extinction.

I.E are there a path to global Communism and co-existence with other kinds of intellects, and what needs to be in place/be removed for that to likely happen ?
