Whether or not the existential risk around [climate change or nuclear weapons] is real, governments, corporations, NGO's and others will twist this to their own purpose to build censorship, entry barriers, and other unpleasantries. We should be mindful of that.

Nuclear weapons have a very tangible negative outcome which everyone can imagine. Existential AI risk has no meaning right now outside of a blurry vision of something like Skynet. The issues are not alike.

The day AI can be used in war, through robots for example, loosing a war might mean total annihilation. That is beyond nuclear weapons risk.

The day in which Arnold Schwarzenegger robots travel back in time to kill Sarah Connor... very risky!
