I mostly agree with this. The counterargument I can come up with is that the best AI think tanks right now are asking for grants in the range of $2 - $5 million and seem to be pretty influential, so it’s possible that a grantmaker who got $8 million could improve policy by 5%, in which case it’s correct to equate those two.
I’m not sure how that fits with the relative technical/policy questions.

How are the best AI think tanks “pretty influential?”
