On “AI welfare should be an EA priority,” approximately how much EA talent/funding is “unrestricted”?
If, say, only 10% is unrestricted, 5% of that would be 0.5% of all EA talent/funding. The question then would be, roughly: should AI welfare be even a minor/non-trivial EA cause area? If 90% is unrestricted, then a “priority” would be 4.5% of all EA talent/funding = ~ should AI welfare be a considerable EA cause area?
The difference between those statements would influence where I placed on the agree-disagree continuum.
