(A) Sure, it’d be good to have opinions from relevant people, but on the other hand it’s non-trivial to figure out who “relevant people” are, and “the general opinion on LW” is probably not the right category. I’d look more at what (1) people actually working in the field, and (2) the broad ML community, think about an org. So maybe the Alignment Forum.
(B) I can only answer on my specific views. My opinion on [MIRI] probably wouldn’t really help individuals seeking to work there, since they probably know everything I know and have their own opinions. My opinions are more suitable for discussions on the general AI safety community culture.
