agreed. ...I guess why not have people who're better at it or who'd rather spend time on it, do it? Would probably miss most of the real problems, but could catch a few and help steer complex issues. I guess I'm thinking about it as applying the type of mission that OpenAI has[1] on a wider/smaller scale.

The OpenAI people mean well but their their concerns over safety seem a bit silly considering they haven't actually demonstrated any progress toward building a true AGI. At this stage it's the equivalent of worrying about the problems that would be caused by an alien invasion: an interesting intellectual exercise but useless in practical terms.
