Hm, fairly confused by the downvotes. I’m guessing a) people disagree with this being a good decision or b) there’s a really obvious answer? If it’s b), can you please tell me?
I weak-downvoted (when this post had positive karma), mostly because I want less content like this on the Forum, and slightly because I do not think Bostrom should step down (and I’m kind of annoyed by the assertion without justification, but I’d also be annoyed by more arguments about the Bostrom email thing).
Ah, sure. Justification is something like there are many people who would be great at running FHI and would want to, I’m guessing there is someone who is much better for optics and would make people more comfortable than Bostrom. Replacing him with one of these just-as-capable people seems to have few downsides and several upsides.
