is anti-AGI chatter some version of "Descartes mugger", where you convince someone to believe/do nonsense because you plausibly imagine a world where not doing so has some probability of infinite loss.

If you don't gimmie all your money, AI is going to wreck you, infinitely. No matter how low the odds AI will wreck you & giving me all your money will stop it, negative infinity times anything is still negative infinity, so rationally you're writing a check right now.
