“Which is bad for the growth of AI safety if it’s hidden behind donating 10% and going vegan”
This may be true and the converse is also possible concurrently, with the growth of giving 10% and going vegan potentially being hidden at times behind AI safety ;)
From an optimistic angle “Big tent EA” and AI safety can be synergistic—much AI safety funding comes from within the EA community. A huge reason those hundreds of millions are available, is because the AI safety cause grew out of and is often melded with founding EA principles, which includes giving what we can to high EV causes. This has motivated people to provide the very money EA safety work relies on.
Community dynamics are complicated and I don’t think the answers are straightforward.
