Haha, no, it took me quite a bit longer to phrase what I wrote but I didn’t have dedicated non-writing thinking time, e.g. the claim about the expected ratio of future assets seems like something I could sanity check + get a better number for with a pen and pencil and a few minutes but I was too lazy to do that :)
(And I can’t let false praise of me stand)
edit to also comment on the substantial part of your comment: Yes, that takeaway seems good to me!
edit edit: Although I’d caveat that s-risk is less mature than general longtermism (more “pre-paradigmatic” for people who like that word), so there might be less (obvious) to do for founders/leaders right now and that can be very frustrating. We still always want to hear about such people.
last edit?: And as in general longtermism, if somebody is interested in s-risk and has really high EtG potential, I might sometimes prefer that. Especially given what I said above about founder/leader type people. Something within an order of magnitude or two of FTX F for s-risk reduction would obviously be a huge win for the space and I don’t think it’s crazy to think that people could achieve that.
