You forgot to add "rent-seeking hypocrites". Not one of them actually advance either social concerns or technical approaches to AI. They seem to exist in a space with solicits funding to pay some mouth-piece top-dollar to produce a report haranguing existing AI model for some nebulous future threat. Same with the clowns in the Distributed AI Research Institute, all "won't somebody think of the children" style shrieking to get in the news while keeping their hand out for funding - hypocrites is right!


They’re a clergy demanding tithes to keep writing about divine judgement.


I like that analogy a lot - it captures exactly the holier-than-thou nonsense coming out of these places.


They also love to form all these Institute for Whatever Study and The So and So Academy. But I don’t think there are any buildings.

At least the Church understood the value of architecture.
