I was intending to pick out a group of people who have for years identified as EAs and longtermists but have changed what they’ve worked on. I was thinking it was clear in talking about EAs deprioritising a thing that I meant the ones who prioritised that highly initially, but I see how that’s confusing—I’ll edit to clarify.
Right, what seemed to be missing to me was evidence that longtermists specifically had stopped working on extinction risk. But I see there are a good amount of posts others have linked in the comments that would count as evidence for this.
