“I don’t know if AMF is good or bad, but it’s probably not nearly as impactful as the best things I’ll be able to find, and I have limited time to evaluate giving opportunities, so I should allocate my time elsewhere”
What do you mean by allocate your time “elsewhere”?
My guess is that Buck means something like: “spend my time to identify and execute ‘longtermist’ interventions, i.e. ones explicitly designed to be best from the perspective of improving the long-term future—rather than spending the time to figure out whether donating to AMF is net good or net bad”.

This is indeed what I meant, thanks.
How does this differ from response 5 in the post?
