The only rumor I’ve heard is that someone was once denied an opportunity because they were deemed not a longtermist and the only way the org could’ve known the person was not a longtermist was from their public writing, and I personally wasn’t sold that strongly holding longtermist values was a key requirement for the position. That being said, I’ve only heard it from the person who didn’t get hired and possible that I may be substantially misunderstanding the situation.
I definitely would like to hear other people’s views on this, from burner accounts if need be.
