1) The Long-Term Future Fund seems most important to coordinate with. Since I’m both a fund manager at the EAF Fund and an advisor to the Long-Term Future Fund, I hope to facilitate such coordination.
2) Individual EA donors, poker pros (through our current matching challenge), and maybe other large donors.
3) Yes, that sounds correct. We’re particularly excited to support researchers who work on specific s-risk-related questions within those areas, but I expect that the research we fund could also positively influence AI in other ways (e.g. much of the decision theory work might make positive-sum trade more likely and could thereby increase the chance of realizing the best possible outcomes). We might also fund established organizations like MIRI if they have room for more funding.
Thanks! :)
