Yep, all sounds right to me re: not deferring too much and thinking through cause prioritization yourself, and then also that the portfolio is too broad, though these are kind of in tension.
To answer your question, I’m not sure I update that much on having changed my mind, since I think if people did listen to me and do AISTR this would have been a better use of time even for a governance career than basically anything besides AI governance work (and of course there’s a distribution within each of those categories for how useful a given project is; lots of technical projects would’ve been more useful than the median governance project).
