This seems slightly cryptic. Have you considered following the style and norms of other comments on the forum?
although, to be frank, it does make me a bit confused where some of the consternation about specific, unspecified grants has come from...
If your comment is about public sentiment around FTX grant decisions, there doesn’t seem to be public knowledge of grants actually made. So it doesn’t seem like there could be informed public opinion of the actual results.
(If you are signaling/referencing some private discussion, this point doesn’t apply.)
Totally agreed!

Weak downvote because “Have you considered following the style and norms of other comments on the forum?” is needlessly rude
Yes, this is fair. The current vote score seems a little harsh though.
Anyways, I just got off a call with a collaborator who was also very excited about my comment—something about “billionaire” and “great doom”.
Yes, strong funding for x-risk is important, but in my opinion, I think there could be greater focus on high quality work more broadly.
oh wow, when I made the comment we were at −1 and +2 respectively, I agree this was a bigger reaction than I was expecting lol
