At the same time, I think one challenge here is that it’s hard to imagine many worldviews and corresponding projects where the following would be simultaneously true:
1. Global health charities are more efficient than AI-safety charities. 2. The AI project in question wouldn’t become obsolete after a few years, due to much better LLMs or TAI. 3. The project itself is highly exciting, perhaps in part because of advances in LLMs that are expected in a few years.
So basically, I think this might require a fairly narrow worldview that not too many people fall into. The people highly AI-pilled are focused on projects more specific to AI progress, and the least AI-pilled aren’t very bought into the use of AI.
(Correspondingly, my personal position is that I’m more on the AI-pilled side, and can’t think of many AI-related global welfare projects that would excite me now over other AI projects.)
I’m quite pro-AI.
