The base rate seems tricky to interpret without a real comparison. 3 out of 5 points in the summary say that the rate is high, but it doesn't seem like the evidence exists to support that claim. The implied reference class is "non EA super-rich people", but that class isn't actually examined in the data. The rates do seem subjectively very high.

Recently, when people refer to “immediate societal harms and dangers” of AI, in media or political rhetoric, they predominantly choose to mention “bias”, “misinformation”, and “political (election) manipulation”.

First, the headline claim in your posts is not usually "AI can't takeoff overnight in software", it's "AI can't reach extreme superhuman levels at all, because humans are already near the cap". If you were arguing primarily against software takeoff, then presumably you wouldn't need all this discussion about hardware at all (e.g. in the "Brain Hardware Efficiency" section of your Contra Yudkowsky post), it would just be a discussion of software efficiency.
