To be fair, I think a few of Schmidt Futures people were looking around EA Global for things to fund in 2022. I can imagine why someone would think they’re a longtermist.
I agree there are probably a few longtermist and/or EA-affliated people at Schimdt Futures, just as there are probably such people at Google, Meta, the World Bank, etc. This is a different claim than whether Schimdt Futures institutionally is longtermist, which is again a different claim from whether Eric Schimdt himself is.
