I agree that there seems to have been some sort of tipping point on public awareness and willingness to talk about risks. This week I’ve had three “normies” independently bring up AI related X-risk in conversations with me. Before this week I’m not sure that’s ever happened. (I generally avoid the topic because it doesn’t make for great small talk and don’t want to be the weirdo talking about the potential end of the world)
