I find it hard not to see "AI safety" in a similar vein as "the war on drugs". I truly can't imagine it ever succeeding (nor do I want it to, despite the unfortunate outcome in Las Vegas).
And the mention that the New Orleans bomber played the "assassination" game Among Us harkens back to previous eras trying to pin blame for violence on video games. At least the media didn't seem to run with the idea for very long.
