I’d also want to distinguish organizational strategy from strategic outlook. MIRI’s organizational strategy is separate from the list of things we want some group in the world to do. (E.g., MIRI isn’t an AGI shop.) There are also things like “an AI winter occurs” that can be helpful if they occur (to give more time for safety work), without being good intervention points for anyone.
CC from facebook: Rob Bensinger The boxes labeled “MIRI’s strategy” in the chart above look mostly wrong to me at a glance. You can find a good summary of MIRI’s thoughts about strategy here: https://intelligence.org/2017/12/01/miris-2017-fundraiser/#3.

Me: I will update based on your recent document.
The new version of the map which is updated based on the comment by Rob Bensinger about MIRI 2017 strategy is up.
The difference between explicit organisational strategy and the strategic outlook is presented in different colors of the boxes.
