Signed by many AI researchers with no financial stake in the industry. It comes across as hyperbole because you're not an insider and haven't see what they have seen.

Global warming would as well if you were only learning about it now as a newer thing only some scientists were concerned about. But unlike AI risk, global warming has had decades to settle into the cultural overton window.
