Thanks for your willingness to type down your critique. Your idea is basically: Maybe I can’t become a PR 90 researcher, but at least I probably could become PR 90 at something and collaborate with others and make impact.
But my critique is : Suppose you’re PR 90 at writing skills but average at every other things. Maybe you can apply for writing position in EA world, to help researchers publish better articles/papers. But it’s hard to get in EA world, if you work in non-EA world, it seems impossible to reduce AI s-risks if you’re only good at writing. You’ll still get a writing job in non-EA world, but what you’re going to write is probably not related to AI s-risks at all. It seems only people with the skill of research or policy can make impact for AI s-risks in the non-EA world(such as implementing safety designs). There’s in fact not that many skills that can make influences in the non-EA world, especially for s-risks
