I’m worried that a lot of people are going to miss out on this point: EA needs to diversify. There are too many clever, creative, and pragmatic people hitting diminishing returns on the same high-impact cause areas. There’s plenty of money, and adding additional workers in the policy arena will have a network effect that benefits everyone. It’s not perfectly optimal but this isn’t an optimal planet.

Absolutely. In fact, the biggest problem that EA has is not importance but neglectedness. Yes, AI Alignment is important, but other causes matter.
