Are you saying that the AI safety community gets less effective at advancing SOTA interpretability/etc. as it gets more funding/interest, or that the negative consideration is the fact that the AI safety has had less time to grow, or something else? It seems odd to me that AI safety research progress would be negatively correlated with the size and amount of volunteer hours in the field, though I can imagine reasons why someone would think that.

I’m saying that faster progress gives less time for the AI safety community to grow. (I added “less time for” to the original comment to clarify.)
Ahh, ok.
