Thanks for the reply. I agree with your specific point but I think it’s worth being more careful with your phrasing. How much we earn is an ethically-charged thing, and it’s not a good thing if EA’s relationship with AI companies gives us a permission structure to lose sight of this.
Edit: to be clear, I agree that “it’s probably not much more than he could earn elsewhere” but disagree that “Eliezer isn’t necessarily out of line in drawing $600k”
