This broad point is made so much and is so clearly true that I’m more puzzled why it hasn’t had more of an impact on EA/LT outreach. I guess inertia is probably a big factor.
It feels like a weird confluence of effects of:
FTX Future Fund spawning at the same time.
What we owe the future dropping at the same time as more visible LLMs.
Cultural pivot in people’s system 1s about pandemics because of COVID-19.
good insight
