The case for AI safety capacity-building work

TL;DR: I think many of the marginal hires at larger organizations doing AI safety technical or policy work right now (including e.g. Apollo, Redwood, METR, RAND TASP, GovAI, Epoch, UKAISI, and Anthropic’s safety teams) would be capable of founding (or being early employees of) organizations focused on building capacity in AI safety, and would have impact by doing so.
