I expect we’ll also talk a lot to various people outside of RP who have important decisions to make and could potentially be influenced by us and/or who just have strong expertise and judgement in one or more relevant domains (e.g., major EA funders, EA-aligned policy advisors, strong senior researchers) to get their thoughts on what it’d be most useful to do and the pros and cons of various avenues we might pursue.
(We sort-of passively do this in an ongoing way, and I’ve been doing a bit more recently regarding nuclear risk and AI governance & strategy, but I think we’d probably ramp it up when choosing directions for next year. I’m saying “I think” because the longtermism department haven’t yet done our major end-of-year reflection and next-year planning.)
