I’d be interested to hear more about the thoughts behind this key lesson:
The LE Project should be divided into several different organizations/efforts, rather than one incubator.
This makes sense to me in light of the different tasks and operational requirements that different purposes are likely to require, but I noticed a theme running through the rest of the report of uncertainty. This included things like funders being uncertain of downside risk; uncertainty about what actions a person with funding should take; an expertise/experience bottleneck for longtermism and especially the combination of longtermism and entrepreneurship.
What do you think of the relationship between the constraints and having multiple orgs in the space?
Hi Ryan, I may be misunderstanding the question so correct me if I’m wrong—are you saying something like: “given that there’s lots of uncertainty about what’s needed this seems in tension with starting an organisation that concentrates on only one user type (e.g. recent generalist graduate) or one domain (e.g. AI Safety)”?
