This is not a bad summary overall, but has some errors/confusions:
Longtermist causes are prioritized by 63.6% of respondents vs. 46.8% for neartermist causes, a gap that widens among highly engaged EAs.
Both parts of this are technically true, but the statistic referred to in the first half of the sentence is different from the one that we reported to show the gap between low/high engagement EAs.
Comparable statistics would be:
Overall: 37.6% of respondents most prioritised only a longtermist cause, 21.0% most prioritised only a neartermist cause.
Among the highly engaged, 47% most prioritized only a longtermist cause and only 13% most prioritized a neartermist cause.
Among, the less engaged 26% most prioritized a longtermist cause and 31% most prioritized a neartermist cause.
In an allocation task, respondents assign the most resources to Global health/poverty, then AI risk, then animal welfare
True looking at farmed animal welfare, but a combined animal welfare category would be neck and neck with AI (slightly ahead but not significant).
with actual allocations lower on Global poverty and animal welfare than the survey or an earlier survey of EA leaders.
Actual allocations to Global Poverty are higher than our survey allocations and actual allocations to FAW are lower. I don’t have statistics for actual allocations to WAW, but they are likely dramatically lower.
