Sol is not world-endingly dangerous. I work at OpenAI and I've never heard a single person ever come close to claiming that. I think you're bashing a straw man here.

One can simultaneously believe:

- GPT-5.6 Sol will not end the world

- GPT-5.6 Sol does far more good than bad

- GPT-5.6 Sol does bad things on occasion, and it's worth investing a lot of effort to figure out how to make it do bad things less often, especially as models get more capable

What do you recommend people who are technically inclined enough to participate meaningfully here on HN, but do not work at the labs and cannot assist in that capacity, do to help the broader public understand this technology better and mitigate potential risks (by e.g. ‘up-leveling everybody’ through AI literacy etc and other sorts of collective defensive efforts)?

This is far too reasonable for this thread.
