how is it epistemically a 'good news'? (genuinely curious)

Crazy stuff! I personally know someone who was reached out to from EA Orgs with jobs but the person decided not to take them and self-rejected! I've always wondered how the recruiters in this highly competitive space can reduce chances of self-rejection (especially for deemed fit candidates). If anyone can discuss a bit here, it'll be great! 

"People with experience in Netflix pitches and successful political social media campaigns are becoming more involved in communicating AI safety through video, often independent of EA organizations"- why aren't we able to attract them towards this forum at least? Or maybe agents who are working with those people?

So happy to learn about people like Dhawal who are the current generation of bright Indians. I'm new in the community and working in Germany as an NRI (having family in India- Kolkata). You've rightly put up the moral circle angle. I knew that this concept was mostly used for animal welfare initiatives but it's enlightening how it could be applicable in donation/giving ideas for people across demographies and geographies as well.
