Quick things: 1. There are some neat actions happening, but often they are behind-the-scenes. Politics tends to be secretive. 2. The work I know about mostly falls into work focused on AI safety and bio safety. There’s some related work trying to limit authoritarianism in the US. 3. The funding landscape seems more challenging/complex than with other things.
I think I’d like to see more work on a wider scope of interventions to do good via politics. But I also appreciate that there are important limitations/challenges here now.
