I think I’d rather talk about the important topic even if it’s harder? My concern is, for example, that the debate happens and let’s say people agree and start to pressure for moving $ from GHD to AW. But this ignores a third option, move $ from ‘longtermist’ work to fund both.
Feels like this is a ‘looking under the streetlight because it’s easier effect’ kind of phenomenon.
If Longtermist/​AI Safety work can’t even to begin to cash out measurable incomes that should be a strong case against it. This is EA, we want the things we’re funding to be effective.
