We were planning on opening some longtermism research roles next month that we are now going to pause instead, but I expect we will still open these roles—just later in 2023. I’m not able to speak to what other organizations are doing.
Thank you, Peter, there seems to be promising hope for longtermism from RP. It’s unfortunate that due to this collapse, longtermism projects have been affected majorly and I worry that the damage from FTX may cause additional neglectedness or potential skepticism in future funding from interested parties. My speculation is that a large group of orgs will likely to pause funding on longtermism and focus more on how to strategically build credibility and trust in order to raise more support from external funders, at least for the upcoming 6 months.
