I (with limited information) think the EA Animal Welfare Fund is promising, but wonder how much of that matches the intention of this experiment. It can be a bit underwhelming if an experiment to try to get the crowd’s takes on charities winds up determining to, “just let the current few experts figure it out.” Though I guess, that does represent a good state of the world. (The public thinks that the current experts are basically right)
