Specifically with digital minds I still disagree that it’s a super unlikely area to be as PR risk. To me it seems easier than other areas to take aim at, the few people I’ve talked to about it find it more objectionable than other EA stuff I’ve talked about. and there seems to me some prior as it could be associated with other long termist EA work that has already taken PR hits.
Thanks for the clarification about the defunded areas I just assumed it was only long termist areas defunded my bad I got that wrong. Have corrected my reply.
Would be good to see an actual list of the defunded areas...
