How much worldview-diversification and dividing capital into buckets do you have within each of the three main cause areas, if at all? For example, I could imagine a divide between short and long AI Timelines, or a divide between policy-oriented and research-oriented grants.
We don’t have firmly-articulated “worldview divisions” beyond the three laid out in that post, though as I mention towards the end of this section in my podcast, different giving opportunities within a particular worldview can perform differently on important but hard-to-quantify axes such as the strength of feedback loops, the risk of self-delusion, or the extent to which it feels like a “Pascal’s mugging”, and these types of considerations can affect how much we give to particular opportunities.
Thanks for the answer! I want to make sure that I get this clearly, if you are still taking questions :)
Are you making attempts to diversify grants based on these kinds of axes, in cases where there is no clear-cut position? My current understanding is that you do it but mostly implicitly
