Instead of increasing the number of grantmakers, which would increase the number of altruistic agents and increase the risks from the unilateralists’ curse, we could work on ways for our grantmakers to have different blind spots. The simplest approach would be to recruit grantmakers from different countries, academic backgrounds, etc.
That being said, I am still in favour of a greater number of grantmakers but in areas unrelated to AI Safety and biosecurity so that the risks from the unilateralists curse are much smaller—such as global health, development, farmed animal welfare, promoting evidence based policy, promoting liberal democracy etc.
