I have seen DAIR members perform ad hominem attacks on qualified researchers and first movers in AI Safety (eg EA community, Yoshua Bengio, etc), they divert the discussion away from x-risks and focus on attacking individuals. For instance, look at the reaction of AI pioneers expressing interest in studying ai safety. This people seem to be focusing way more energy on attacks and discreding than making actual progress that addresses the case of ai safety. I do not understand diverting discussions about existential harm with diversity/patriachy, they seem to be separate discussions. Whereas they seem to attack anyone working on AI Safety who is a white man.
