TBH, I'm not super impressed with "ordinary people" lately. Most of the time, I don't spare "ordinary people" a thought. Lately, I have, though. The thought is primarily something along the lines of, "How can these people be stopped before they hose us all?"
The only sector of our society that needs to be stopped before they hose us all is the AI labs IMHO.
maybe not the only... but they're certainly nontrivial in that distinction
My "only" is an exaggeration, but the AI labs are definitely the societal force I'm most worried about. If they were closed down or some talented person figures out how to control AIs (so they stay controlled even if the become more capable than us) I'd be fairly optimistic about humanity's future.
