    AI safety and the line between coordination and conspiracy

    A post argues that coordination around AI safety is normal social-movement organizing, not a conspiracy, and says the backlash seems equally coordinated.

    TLDR

    A post argues that the shift in public sentiment on AI was coordinated, framing that as ordinary movement-building rather than a conspiracy. It says the AI safety movement, rooted largely in rationalism and effective altruism, has spent 20 years building relationships across media, government and elite circles. It also argues that the backlash against AI safety—especially negative posts about effective altruism—seems equally coordinated.

    @TylerAltermanTo the conspiracy theorists: You’re right! But you’re still being a bit dumb. Let me explain. *Of course* the current zeitgeist shift on AI was coordinated!!! The response to Rosa Parks by the civil rights movement was also coordinated. This is how movements work: they build up relationships amongst the media, government, and elite so that when there’s event they can focus public attention on, they have a coordinated front to shift the zeitgeist. The AI safety movement – starting largely with rationalists and effective altruists – has been building these relationships for 20 years. Everyone knows each other. Everyone funds and hires and dates each other. This is…just what a social movement looks like. If you want to call a normal social movement a “conspiracy”…think: Is it possible that a psyop might have placed that exact idea in your head? You’ll notice that the backlash against AI safety – particularly the onrush of negative tweets about effective altruism – seems equally coordinated. If you’ve become a part of that onrush, it’s still not a conspiracy. You are simply part of the intended effects of a different coordinated effort.
