In you're in favor of "AI safety" (broad definition), what's your most compelling cast-length argument?

The technology is obviously epochal, but its path still largely unknown. 

It’s appropriate to have at least *some* humility toward “known unknowns” of a historical magnitude.

Atomic, but at least we had some theoretical models based in science. AI safety nerds use imaginary rhetoricals

The models are historical/anthropological. Whenever a higher intelligence species encounters a lower intelligence species, or more advanced civilization encounters a less advanced one, the outcome is predictable.

I imagine that would be like trying to unplug the internet while it is using super-human charisma to convince everyone connected to it that it shouldn’t be unplugged. Seems like a one-way door.

That’s not a model. We don’t understand ourselves enough to make a scientific hypothesis
