None of the comment is apt. You're seeing people you disagree with and assuming that if they disagree with you it must be because they're crazy, and then you use words like "cult" and "LARP" to try to dismiss them without engaging with their arguments. This does not lead to good discussion.
I think that unaligned and sufficiently smart AI could kill everyone because I looked at the arguments for and against and came to a conclusion. Presumably this is the same thing you did. I know my own mind better than you, and I'm telling you that your attempts to explain why I disagree with you are completely off the mark.
> We don’t enact public policy based on predictions of a biblical apocalypse, nor do we ban televisions or computers because groups like the Amish disapprove of them.
The reason we don't do that is because we evaluate their arguments and disagree with them. It has nothing to do with who they are or why they believe what they believe.
