EA and Longtermist Wins and Losses - Footnote 18

Note: unsupported: The claim that some EA advocates focused on global health and animal welfare have reported that longtermism and x-risk work has made their lives harder, worsened their reputations, and occupied valued community niches is not supported by the source. unsupported: The claim that the 2024 EA Survey revealed diverging priorities is not supported by the source. The source does not mention a 2024 EA Survey. misleading_paraphrase: The claim that an EA Forum post on the relationship between the EA community and AI safety noted that AI safety dominance has alienated global health and development EAs, creating perceptions of exclusion at events is a misleading paraphrase. The source does not explicitly state that AI safety dominance has alienated global health and development EAs, creating perceptions of exclusion at events. However, one commenter mentions talking to GHD EAs at EAGs, and sometimes the vibe is a bit "we're not sure this place is really for us anymore" (especially among non-biosecurity people). misleading_paraphrase: The claim that community members sometimes perceive EA as an AI/longtermism-only movement — a perception that risks talent loss in other cause areas is a misleading paraphrase. The source does not explicitly state that community members sometimes perceive EA as an AI/longtermism-only movement — a perception that risks talent loss in other cause areas. However, one commenter mentions that people deep into AI or newly converted are much more likely to think that EA revolves essentially around AI, and people outside of AI might think 'Oh that's what the community is about now' and don't feel like they belong here.
