But I don’t think long-termists are actually asking for $30 million to make the apocalypse 0.0001% less likely—both because we can’t reliably calculate numbers that low, and because if you had $30 million you could probably do much better than 0.0001%.
Agreed. Linch’s .01% Fund post proposes a research/funding entity that identifies projects that can reduce existential risk by 0.01% for $100M-$1B. This is 3x-30x as cost-effective as the quoted text and targeting a reduction 100x the size.
