To what extent should the community have a say in EV?
Pros:
Many EV orgs are community orgs. While we aren’t all experts in many aspects of charites or AI safety, we are all pretty expert on what if feels like to be a member of the EA community
Cons:
My general stance is that elites do in fact make better decisions than the median voter, where there aren’t just awful incentives
How many examples do you have of elites making the right decisions for a larger group? And out of how many elites trying to do that in general?
I’ve been vocal about thinking the community should have a voice here (maybe specifically in CEA, and other stakeholders should be involved for other parts of EVF). But widening the boards is a minimal step in the right direction.
