Perhaps something missed from your list. The lack of moral seriousness regarding the value of the money being spent. I can imagine my global development and animal welfare colleagues, would be pretty displeased to learn that nonlinear has received over 500,000 USD in funding.
From reading into this discussion, including the linked appendix document. There’s no reason for me to think that they were ready to receive this amount of money, or likely to use it effectively.
I agree with this though it is unfortunately much the same in lots of longtermism/AI safety. Also, if I am not mistaken, Emerson funds a lot of Nonlinear himself.
I don’t understand why people downvote you, if not out of bad faith. Cause they give no evidence that money is used well. And so far you are the only one pointing this out. So unless these people work in these communities and feel personally attacked, there’s no point downvoting the truth.
If anyone can provide evidence that this hot tub money was used for good purposes I’d love to see it. Otherwise don’t be dishonest and don’t downvote.
I down voted because it isn’t directly relevant to the dispute. High-spending in longtermist EA communities is a question that has been frequently discussed on this forum without consensus views. I don’t think restarting that argument here is productive.

Thanks for providing context here, similar to Vaipan, I wasn’t sure why people were disagree/downvoting me.
