While we’re requesting things, I’d like explainers to send to specific audiences. Explainers that are more than informative, but also to influence cause prioritization/political priorities relative to others
Why AIS is more important than...
climate change—I’m seeing just a ton of political salience from progressive-people-who-generally-care-about-good towards climate change/climate activism over AIS. (re: flood in nepal, indian farmers impacted, etc.)
Re 1a, I’m happy to advise or mentor somebody interested in writing this up, I probably thought about climate change more than the vast majority of people in EA (not as much as actual experts like Johannes Ackva or John Halstead).
The ideal candidate is somebody with legible climate credentials (eg worked as a climate scientist or policymaker and is pivoting/have pivoted to AI safety.
I think I won’t be a good fit for writing this up myself because I think this is one of the messages where the messenger matters and also there are cultural nuances I won’t be as familiar with.
Earlier notes here (though tbc it’s backed by much more than just the bullet points and I also thought about it some since).
