If AGI is likely in the next couple of decades (I am rather skeptical) then long-term activism or outreach are probably pointless. If AGI is not likely within this century (which also seems unlikely) then working on AGI is probably pointless.
Paul, it looks like you ended up deciding to go into FAI research instead of long-term activism or outreach. I’m curious how you reached that decision. Have you explained it anywhere?

I haven’t made any commitments, but I’m not currently doing much FAI research.
