Approximately $2K would be sufficient to scope out a project like this, provided we have capacity at the time. We’re usually able to accommodate some scoping work alongside ongoing projects though.
I would be happy to donate 2 k$ to RP myself. You could use this to scope out whatever project or projects you believe would decrease the most cost-effectively the uncertainty about how the (expectedhedonistic) welfare per unit time of different organisms and digital systems compares with that of humans.
Thanks for clarifying, Hannah! How much dedicated funding would you have to receive to scope out projects (without commiting to doing a project)?

Thanks so much for your offer to support this, Vasco. I’ll follow up with you about this on email.
