There are a few comments shitting on different cause areas and in a manner sounding like statement of fact and with little explanation (others were critical but at least explained), but these disagreements are largely based on differing ethical values, priors or weight given to evidence. Given the impression of confidence I get from these comments, I wonder if the submitters actually understand the arguments for why some EAs prioritize these causes over the ones the submitters prioritize. Or maybe they didn’t feel the need to qualify their statements further, because the post is only asking for opinions.
Also, maybe there’s some retaliation here, since each of AI risk, global health and poverty, and animal protection have been shat on.
