I retracted my comment. I still think it would be useful for the Atlas Fellowship to know its tier, and I’d be happy for others to learn about Atlas’s tier even if it was bad.
But I think people would have all kinds of incorrect interpretations of the tiers, and it would produce further low-quality discussion on the Forum (which already seems pretty low, especially as far as Open Phil critiques go), and it could be a hassle for Open Phil. Basically I agree with this comment, and I don’t trust the broader EA community to correctly interpret the tier numbers.
Oh, I also don’t know whether publishing the tiers would be straightforwardly good. Just in case anyone is thinking about making any kind of tier list, including Open Phil ranking orgs, feel free to include Lightcone in it.

Similar. I think I’m happy for QURI to be listed if it’s deemed useful.
Also though, I think that sharing information is generally a good thing, this type included.
More transparency here seems pretty good to me. That said, I get that some people really hate public rankings, especially in the early stages of them.
