Thanks, I appreciate the detailed response, and agree with many of the points you made. I don’t have the time to engage much more (and can’t share everything), but we’re working on improving several of these things.
Thanks Jonas, glad to hear there are some related improvements in the works For whatever it’s worth, here’s an example of messaging that I think accurately captures what the fund has done, what it’s likely to do in the near term, and what it would ideally like to do:
The Long-Term Future Fund aims to positively influence the long-term trajectory of civilization by making grants that address global catastrophic risks or promote the adoption of longtermist thinking. While many grants so far have prioritized projects addressing risks posed by artificial intelligence (and the grantmakers expect to continue this at least in the short term), the Fund is open to funding, and welcomes applications from, a broader range of activities related to the long-term future.
