MIRI plans to target a general audience, not policy-makers.
(Writing this while on a flight with bad Wi-Fi, so I’ll keep it brief.)
Just wanted to quickly drop a note to say that we also do work targeted at policymakers, e.g.,
we have a new small team at MIRI working on technical governance topics whose work is mostly targeted at folks doing related work and policymakers;
I just spent the past week in DC (my third such trip this year) mostly meeting with policymakers; and
while our comms work is generally targeted at a more general audience, we usually have policymakers in mind as one (of many) target audiences.
(In general our work more directly targeted at policymakers has been less visible to date. That will definitely continue to be the case for some of it, but I’m hopeful that we’ll have more publicly observable outputs in the future.)

Thank you for the comment! I’ve added a correction to the post.
