Suppose a random 1% (or 50%) of the AI safety ecosystem quits tomorrow
Somewhat of a nitpick, but the correct question to ask is about the marginal 1% of the AI safety ecosystem, no? This is a very different distribution than a random subset.
Here I’m exploring separating two parameters: effect of growing the field holding quality-distribution constant and marginal quality vs average quality. (And there’s also value of the field and cost to grow the field by 1%.)
