In terms of changes in status and what people are doing:
pivot from AI safety technical research to AI governance policy work
pivot from broader biosecurity to intersection of AI and bio
adoption of progress studies ideas / adoption of metascience and innovation policy as a priority cause area
taking broad-based economic growth seriously rather than a sole focus on randomista development
greater general engagement with politics
further reduction in focus on effective giving, increased focus on career impact
I don’t think the Global Health and Animal Welfare cause areas have changed too much, but probably get a smaller proportion of attention.
