I don't disagree, but if there is a huge difference between believing humanity is going to be killed by a technology and "ethical consumption is impossible." Human extinction is pretty much a red alarm for how you should act in the world.

I don't believe AI wipe out humanity, personally. Advocating against something is itself an action; many who believe climate change is an existential threat to humanity advocate against it but stop short of say sabotaging an oil refinery.

I do believe in climate change as a risk, but I also don't think it will lead to human extinction. Humans are pretty resilient. More so I am worried about non-human life. But if I did believe strongly that it was an existential threat, I would definitely be advocating sabotage. Wildcat strikes were called for a lot less a hundred years ago.
