I'm convinced AGI is much more likely to be built by a government or major corporation, which makes me more inclined to think movement-building activities are likely to be valuable, to increase the odds of the people at that government or corporation being conscious of AI safety issues, which MIRI isn't doing.

MIRI's AI workshops get outside mathematicians and AI researchers involved in FAI research, which is good for movement building within the population of people likely to be involved in creating an AGI.

MIRI hasn't been very successful in brining in outside AI researchers. What basis is there for thinking that mathmaticians will have significant impact on the creation of AGI?
