I just want to share that I think you did an excellent job explaining the arguments on the recent Politico Tech podcast, in a way that I think comes across as very grounded and reasonable, which makes me more optimistic that MIRI can make this shift. I also hope that you can nudge Eliezer more towards this style of communication, which I think would make his audience more receptive. (I thought the tone of the TIME piece didn’t seem professional enough). This seems especially important if Eliezer will also focus on communications and policy instead of research.
