What kind of questions would you expect the organizations to disagree about?

I don't know, but if you ask intelligent people what they think about x-risk related to AI it's unlikely they'll come to the exact same conclusions that MIRI etc have.

If you present the ideas of MIRI to intelligent people, some of them will be excited and want to help with donations or volunteering. Others will dismiss you and think you are wrong/crazy.

So to expand on my question... if you find intelligent people who disagree with MIRI on significant things, will you work with them?
