It seems that there would be more to be gained from building bridges between the STEM and existential risk communities rather than EA more broadly.
EA has a lot of seemingly disconnected ideas that aren’t as relevant to most people. Some will be interested in all of them, but most people will be interested in just a subset. Also with x-risk, some people will have much more interest in one of nuclear/AI/bio risks than all of them.
I meant the communities/organisations that have overlap with EA but focused on a specific cause, but it would be useful to connect people to less EA related orgs like the Nuclear Threat Initiative, CEPI, etc.
It seems like there is less field building for existential risk but also not that much within specific causes compared with the amount of EA specific field building there has been.
This seems to be changing though with things like the Summit on Existential Security this year, and updates being made by people at EA organisations (mentioned by @trevor1 in another comment).

Good point! Are there any other X-risk communities you think we should look at, other than the ones already active within EA?
