Iāve also donated to the āinvertsā project of RP!
Great. You may also be interested in donating to Arthropoda Foundation. I donated a few k$ to them last year. You are most likely aware of them. If relevant to readers, here is the post announcing their launch, and here is their post during the last Marginal Funding Week. They have been funding research informing how to increase the welfare of farmed arthropods, and āare particularly interested in research with a clear path to impact, whether by shaping future science or informing real-world decision-makingā.
Your updated estimates have huge credible intervals! What is the main source of the uncertainty in the model, or the main sources?
The ranges only account for uncertainty in the individual welfare per fully-healthy-animal-year. I consider this roughly proportional to the expected welfare range. So you can say I am just accounting for uncertainty in the expected welfare range. I believe this the overwhelming driver of the overall uncertainty. Here are the expected welfare ranges as a fraction of that of humans as a function of the exponent of the individual number of neurons.
The 90k (or 90.3k) figure is based on this sentence from this article
Got it. I consider the above ratio reasonable too, but my current best guess is much lower, as I commented above.
