I don't understand the statement that active shooter drills are a billion-dollar industry. I'd suspect that mine were cheaper than fire drills. The teacher instructs us on where to hide, we hide, and then eventually someone comes to unlock the door.

I've never seen that argument you're responding to before. Admittedly, I'm probably only thinking this in hindsight, but it seems like there are a ton of counterarguments, in addition to what you've presented. There isn't a large opposition to OSHA or the USDA.

That being said, I don't agree with the cause being about natural vs anthropogenic problems. I think the difference might be how much of an impact the decisions have on most people (rather than just companies). There's no way I can think of to prove either is correct, and there's certainly more than one factor involved, so a combination of the two is possible. My intuition is that the impact on the general population is a more important distinction.

Imagine a turtle trying to outsmart us. It could never happen. AI Safety is about what happens when we become the turtles.

I was tempted not to post it because it seems too similar to the gorilla example, but I eventually decided, "eh, why not?" Also, there's a possibility that I somehow stole this from somewhere and forgot about it. Sorry if that's the case.
