The claim that the EA Forum criticized Sacks is not directly supported by the article. The article mentions Matthew Adelstein, who has a Substack on EA, disagreeing with Sacks and Weiss-Blatt's portrayal, but this is not the same as the EA Forum itself issuing a criticism. The claim that EA views AI risks as comparable to nuclear and biological threats is a slight oversimplification. The article mentions that longtermism prioritizes preventing existential risks such as pandemics, nuclear war, or rogue AI, but doesn't explicitly state that they are viewed as directly comparable.
