Thanks for the ideas!

I am not sure which way you intended that sentence. Did you mean:

A. We want to shut down all AGI research everywhere by everyone, or
B. We want to shut down AGI research and we also want to shut down governments and militaries and spies

I assume you meant the first thing, but want to be sure!

We support A. Eliezer has been very clear about that in his tweets. In broader MIRI communications, it depends on how many words we have to express our ideas, but when we have room we spell out that idea.

I agree that current / proposed regulation is mostly not aimed at A.

As I mentioned in the post we are looking to hire or partner with a new spokesperson if we can find someone suitable. We don't think it will be easy to find someone great; it's a pretty hard job.

Seems right, thanks.

Gosh, I haven't really conducted a survey here or thought deeply about it, so this answer will be very off the cuff and not very 2024. Some of the examples that come to mind are the major media empires of, e.g. Brene Brown or Gretchen Rubin. 

Yes.

Rob Bensinger has tweeted about it some.

Overall we continue to be pretty weak in on the "wave" side, having people comment publicly on current events / take part in discourse, and the people we hired recently are less interested in that and more interested in producing the durable content. We'll need to work on it.

Oh, yeah, to be clear I completely made up the "rock / wave" metaphor. But the general model itself is pretty common I think; I'm not claiming to be inventing totally new ways of spreading a message, quite the opposite.

Yup to all of that. :)

Your curiosity and questions are valid but I'd prefer not to give you more than I already have, sorry.
