In the examples I was talking about, it was ads in one of the biggest fast food franchises in the country, and the random people I talk to about AI safety are at bus stops and airports. This isn’t just from my social network.Like I said, it’s only a lot of people in my social network who have heard the words ‘effective altruism,’ or know what they refer to. I was mostly talking about the things EA has impacted, like AI safety and the Beyond Burger, receiving a lot of public attention, even if EA doesn’t receive credit. I took the outcomes of EA receiving attention to be a sign of steps toward the movement’s goals as a good thing without regard to whether people have heard of EA.
