Thanks for the pointer to grace2020whose! I’ve added it to the original post now under “successes in our agent-agnostic thinking”.
But I also think the AI safety community has had important contributions on this front.
For sure, that is the point of the “successes” section. Instead of “outside the EA / rationality / x-risk meme-bubbles, lots of AI researchers think about agent-agnostic processes” I should probably have said “outside the EA / rationality / x-risk meme-bubbles, lots of AI researchers think about agent-agnostic processes, and to my eye there should be more communication across the boundary of that bubble.”
