I think most x-risk organisations aren’t explicitly EA, right? Like if you’re interested in AI, you might work at OpenAI or DeepMind; nuclear safety you might work in the International Nuclear Safety Group; bioweapons you might work at the Implementation Support Unit for the Bioweapons Convention at the UN.
We could certainly use a lot more EA x-risk people in governmental and intergovernmental bodies (easily a thousand), as well as some in think tanks and academia.
I don’t know much about cause prioritisation; I thought that a lot of them were in academia. I agree that EA movement building by definition will only involve working for and with EAs!
