One worry that I have about them, is that they (at least the forecasting part of the economics one, and the psychology one) seem very focused on various adjustments to human judgement. In contrast, I think a much more urgent and tractable question is how to improve the judgement and epistemics of AI systems.
AI epistemics seems like an important area to me both because it helps with AI safety, and because I expect that it’s likely to be the main epistemic enhancement we’ll get in the next 20 years or so.
Happy to see progress on these.

I’ve written a bit more here.
