Object level I suspect EA wouldn’t be hiring technical people directly. More like finding PIs who would hire teams to do certain things. There are many good PIs who don’t mesh well with academia since academia selects for things uncorrelated and in some cases anti correlated with good science. Meta level I don’t think we need to determine these things ourselves because this is exactly the sort of consideration that I want to hire for the experience of evaluating and executing on.

Yeah, that’s fair; I didn’t adjust my thinking sufficiently when I discovered you were referring to general EA rather than to MIRI-alikes.
