I agree with your suggestions. Not sure I have anything insightful to add, except perhaps that the initial, non-official post could also be updated to point to the subsequent official release, to better integrate the two posts? One way to do this is to replace the “linkpost” external link with a link to the EA Forum post by 80k. So e.g. for this particular post one would replace https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/christian-tarsney-future-bias-fanaticism/with https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/[official-80k-post-announcing-tarsney-episode]/. This would require asking the authors of the original post to update those links. (I’d assume everyone would be okay with it, but it may add a minor layer of friction for you.)
I like the norm of having linkposts link back to the original work. Redirecting people to the Forum version of the transcript feels too much like trying to hack engagement / steal people from 80K. But I may ask people to put a link within their post to the Forum version: “You may find more discussion of the episode on 80K’s official Forum version.”
I talked to Rob, and he was happy with the suggestion of putting links to the “unofficial” posts at the top of the “official” ones, so we’ll do that going forward.
