Would you say the social pressure as motivation to agree with the severity AI risks becomes significant once one voluntarily joins a community like LW?

Yes, provided you want to integrate into the community (and not e.g. play the role of a contrarian).

how many of those 500 people have authentically arrived at that conclusion by doing the math?

I don't know but I would expect very few. Also, you can't arrive at this conclusion by doing math because at this point the likelihood of UFAI is a matter of your priors, not available data.
