I feel reluctant to answer this question because it feels like it would involve casting judgement on lots of people publicly. I think that there are a bunch of different orgs and people doing good work on AI safety.
Yeah, I am sympathetic to that. I am curious how you decide where to draw the line here. For instance, you were willing to express judgment of QRI elsewhere in the comments.
Would it be possible to briefly list the people or orgs whose work you *most* respect? Or would the omissions be too obvious?
I sometimes wish there were good ways to more broadly disseminate negative judgments or critiques of orgs/people from thoughtful and well-connected people. But, understandably, people are sensitive to that kind of thing, and it can end up eating a lot of time and weakening relationships.
In your opinion, what are the most helpful organizations or groups working on AI safety right now? And why?
In parallel: what are the least helpful organizations or groups working on (or claiming to work on) AI safety right now? And why?
