I wonder if the focus on “narrow EA” is a reflection of short AI timelines and/or a belief that we need to make changes sooner rather than later.
It seems to me that “global EA” looks better the longer the future we have. Gains in people compound, and other countries may be much more influential in the future. If Nigeria is a global power in 50 years, then growing a community there now might be a good investment.
I don’t think this has a clear answer though, since benefits from actually solving problems sooner can compound too.
