Could you share where you donate?
I’ve always found it fascinating when people like you (leading a—dare I say—successful effective nonprofit) donate.
If you don’t donate to ALLFED, why is that? (Are you hedging, are you actually not convinced it’s the best giving opportunity out there...)
If you donate to ALLFED, what’s the case for not just taking a lower salary? (Or is that what you do?)
(leading a—dare I say—successful effective nonprofit)
Sure—go ahead and dare. :)
My day job is associate professor of mechanical engineering at University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and I volunteer for ALLFED. Nearly 100% of my donations are to ALLFED. I think that ALLFED is the most cost-effective way of improving the long run future at the margin (see here and here, though I’m not quite as bullish as the mean survey/​poll results in those papers), but there are orders of magnitude of uncertainty, and I think more total money should be put into AGI safety.
