I think Open Phil is actually doing the things you say they aren’t doing. I think the main value-add of the Future Fund is additional grantmaking capacity and experimenting with different mechanisms (such as prizes and regranting pools).
OK you may well be right, although I’m not sure Open Phil is as public about specific project ideas they want to be funded as Future Fund is?
The other thing I’d say is that I don’t actually think the cause areas between Open Phil and Future Fund overlap that much. Open Phil isn’t solely longtermist and the main overlap between the two orgs seems to be AI and biosecurity.
