On a related note, I happened to be thinking about this a little today as I took a quick look at what ~18 past LTFF who were given early career grants are doing now, and at least 14 of them are doing imo clearly relevant things for AIS/EA/GCR etc. I couldn’t quickly work out what the other four were doing (though I could have just emailed them or spent more than 20 minutes total on this exercise).
For me, it was a moderate update against “bycatch” amongst LTFF grantees (an audience which, in principle, should be especially vulnerable to bycatch), though I don’t think this should be much of an update for others, especially when thinking about the EA community more comprehensively.

Really? I think it would be the opposite: LTFF grantees are the most persistent and accomplished applicants and are therefore the least likely to end up as bycatch.
