this whole “superbabies will save us from AI” presupposes that the superbabies are immune to the pull of LW ideas. Just as LW are discounting global warming, fascism etc to focus on runaway AI, who says superbabies won’t have a similar problem? It’s just one step up the metaphorical ladder:
LW: “ugh normies don’t understand the x-risk of AI!”
Superbabies: “ugh our LW parents don’t understand the x-risk of Evangelion being actually, like, real!”

Don’t think in detail about the future superintelligence that can hug you and turn you into TANG!
