Re: more examples, I co-sign all of my teammates’ AI examples here—they’re basically what I would’ve said. I’d probably add Tarbell as well.
Re: my personal donations, I’m saving for a bigger donation later; I encounter enough examples of very good stuff that Open Phil and other funders can’t fund, or can’t fund quickly enough, that I think there are good odds that I’ll be able to make a really impactful five-figure donation over the next few years. If I were giving this year, I probably would’ve gone the route of political campaigns/PACs.
Re: sub-areas, there are some forms of policy advocacy and moral patienthood research for which small-to-medium-size donors could be very helpful. I don’t have specific opportunities in mind that I feel like I can make a convincing public pitch for, but people can reach out if they’re interested.
Thanks, glad to hear it’s helpful!
