These are good questions, unfortunately I donât feel very qualified to answer. One thing I did want to say though is that your comment made me realize that we were incorrectly (?) focused on a harm reduction frame. Iâm not sure that our suggestions are very good if you want to do something like âmaximize the expected number of rats on heroinâ.
My sense is that most AIxAnimals people are actually mostly focused on the harm reduction stuff so maybe itâs fine that we didnât consider upside scenarios very much, but, to the extent that you do want to consider upside for animals, Iâm not sure our suggestions hold. (Speaking for myself, not Lizka.)
