Well, I think LW is a place designed for people to speak their minds on important topics and have polite respectful debates that result in improved understanding for everyone involved. I think we’re managing to do that pretty well, honestly.
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.
Coordination will be the key. I wish we had more of it here on LW.

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
