Is the claim here that EA orgs focusing on GCRs didn’t think GoF research was a serious problem and consequently didn’t do enough to prevent it, even though they easily could have if they had just tried harder?
My impression is that many organisations and individual EAs were both conerned about risks due to GoF research, and were working on trying to prevent it. A postmortem about strategies used seems plausibly useful, as does a retrospective on whether it should have been an even bigger focus, but the claim as stated above I think is false, and probably unhelpful.
