Convincing people of the validity of drowning child thought experiments and effective altruism seems considerably easier and more useful (even from a purely selfish perspective) than convincing an AI to let one out of the box... for example, there are enough effective altruists for there to be an "effective altruism community", but there's no such "failed AI gatekeeper community". So why aren't we working on this instead?
We're not willing to use dark arts to get people to do things. The AI in a box experiment is just to show that dark arts works.
