This seems like a great article and thought provoking:
There’s a lot of attention on meta EA and EA money. The FTX grants, which might total ~$100M in a year, seem big. These grants are extremely important for the cultural effects and could be enormously impactful.
Scott moved out $8.6 billion last year. If just 10% of that was directed toward very impactful causes, what would the value of that be?
Did Scott or her staff encounter EA? Did this happen, and if so, what did they hear, how did that come across, and what did they think? If they didn’t encounter EA, why not?
It seems hard to integrate multiple, large sources of funding into EA because of coordination, social or cultural reasons. But the very best implementation of the movement could probably do this, while preserving all EA goals and work.
