If there needs to be an AGI Risk Management Outreach Center with a clear cohesive message broadcast to the world… Then I think that needs to be something quite different from LessWrong. I don’t think “forum for lots of people to post their thoughts about rationality and AI alignment” would be the correct structure for a political outreach organization.

Something like this sounds like it could be a good idea. A way to make the most of those of us who are aware of the dangers and can buy the world time
