I agree that "AI safety" these days should be viewed more like corporate negligence leading to industrial accidents, and less like applied theology, like the difference between:

1. "Don't put your Radioactive Asbestos Rocket facility in the middle of downtown."

2. "Don't create a vengeful god."

Currently it feels like one is being used to wave-away the other: "You have to allow us to put our Radioactive Asbestos Rocket in the middle of downtown, or else someone else might create the god first--and do it wrong!"
