Ok, I had completely missed what you were getting at, and instead interpreted your comment as saying that there's not much point in coming up with better arguments, since we can't expect AI researchers to change their behaviors anyway.

The most viable path I see towards such a shift involves giving individual researchers an option to express their change in beliefs in their work - in a way that makes use of their existing skillset and doesn't kill their careers.

This seems like a hard problem, but certainly worth thinking about.
