How much funding is committed to effective altruism (going forward)? Around $46 billion.
Do you mean $46 billion to all effective altruism groups, or the researchers, or what? As it is used in this forum, does EA refer to a particular group that uses this forum, or effective altruism in general?
It is a little more vague than that. It means (at least as I interpret it) something like ‘there currently exists $46bn which Ben Todd thinks is quite committed to eventually being spent to improve the world using an EA framework of trying to do the most good’
Most of those assets currently belong to Dustin Moskovitz and Sam Bankman-Fried
I read the link to “Is effective altruism growing? An update on the stock of funding vs. people”
I don’t understand this:

Thanks for the info. I had never heard of Dustin Moskovitz and Sam Bankman-Fried. I just read about them on wikipedia. Now it makes more sense.
