OK, so it seems like FLI promotes the conclusions of other x-risk organizations, but doesn’t do any actual research itself.
Do you think it’s not worth questioning the conclusions that other organizations have come to? Seems to me that if there are four xrisk organizations (each with reasonably strong connections to each other) there should be some debate between them.
I don’t know, but if you ask intelligent people what they think about x-risk related to AI it’s unlikely they’ll come to the exact same conclusions that MIRI etc have.
If you present the ideas of MIRI to intelligent people, some of them will be excited and want to help with donations or volunteering. Others will dismiss you and think you are wrong/crazy.
So to expand on my question… if you find intelligent people who disagree with MIRI on significant things, will you work with them?

What kind of questions would you expect the organizations to disagree about?
