The risk, I think, is that this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy where:
Prominent EA institutions get funded mostly from OP-GCRCB money
Those institutions then prioritise GCRs[1] more
The EA community gets more focused on GCRs by either deferring to these institutions or evaporative cooling by less GCR/​longtermist EAs
Due to the increased GCR focus of EA, GHW/​AW funders think that funding prominent EA institutions is not cost-effective for their goals
Go-to step 1
Using this as a general term for AI x-risk, longtermism, etc/​
