I give them a lot of credit for, to my eyes, realising this was a big deal way earlier than almost anyone else, doing a lot of early advocacy, and working out some valuable basic ideas, like early threat models, ways in which standard arguments and counter-arguments were silly, etc. I think this kind of foundational work feels less relevant now, but is actually really hard and worthwhile!
(I don’t see much recent stuff I’m excited about, unless you count Risks from Learned Optimisation)
