Agree on both points. (There's a perfectly good reason for EAs with a computer science skillset to want to work in AI with a focus on safety; it's a well compensated industry where they can probably solve important real world problems more reliably than AI researchers less concerned about the ethical implications of what they do even without any sort of singularity, it just the movement seems to have invested a lot more in talking about longtermism than anything else lately, and Yudowksy's always had some very... individual lines of reasoning)
