Nice overview! I’m broadly on board with this framing.
One quibble is that I wish this post was clearer about how the example actions, outputs, and institutions you list are not always themselves motivated by longtermist or x-risk considerations, though many people who are motivated by longtermism/x-risk tend to think of the example outputs you list as more relevant to longtermist/x-risk considerations than many other reports and topics in the broader space of AI governance. E.g. w.r.t. “who’s doing it,” there are very few people at CSET or TFS who are working on these issues from something like a longtermist lens, there are relatively more at DeepMind or OpenAI (but not a majority), and then some orgs are majority/exclusively motivated by a longtermist/x-risk lens (e.g. FHI and the AI program team at Open Phil).
I agree with your quibble. Other than the examples you list here, I’m curious for any other favourite reports/topics in the broader space of AI governance—esp. ones that you think are at least as relevant to longtermist AI governance as the average example I give in this post?
