A person who applied for a MIRI software engineer position and did not hear back expresses concern because Buck Shlegeris, who is in charge of hiring software engineers, has left MIRI, so the person asks the question on LessWrong. In a reply, Rob Bensinger notes that Buck is still in charge of getting in touch, and that hiring has slowed down as a result of COVID-19 and strategy re-evaluation. |

Rob Bensinger, the communications person at MIRI, posts on his personal Facebook wall saying that MIRI is internally actively discussing and seriously considering a move from the San Francisco Bay Area (where MIRI is currently located) to another country or another part of the US. The post does not state the reasons MIRI is considering a move; in comments, Bensinger clarifies that it is too early to summarize the reasons MIRI is considering a move, but that he is looking for people’s thoughts on what the most important considerations are. Bensinger also posts a similar comment on LessWrong [7] |
