Thanks so much Peter! I really enjoyed this post, thanks for writing it — and I’m gratified to see lots of people mentioning this post in the Forum Donation Election.
1. Re this paragraph from the “talent pipelines” section:
Between RP and other organizations we support (IAPS, Apollo, and Epoch), I estimate we employ directly or indirectly (via fiscal sponsorship) 40 people working to reduce existential risk from AI, which I take to be somewhere between 3% to 10% of the entire global workforce aimed at this.
I am assuming that unrestricted donations to RP won’t go to your fiscally sponsored projects, is that correct? i.e. unrestricted donations go to “RP core”.
I’m wondering if you could also clarify how funding to your special projects / general operations team works, and if this is covered via donations to RP vs donations earmarked for a fiscally sponsored project? Thanks!
2. In general, since I don’t see you listing operational costs (staff+other) as specific line items in the above, I am assuming your project budget estimates already factor in operational costs?
