I wonder if another solution for the grantmaker bottleneck could be a distributed, community-based version. Like Manifund, or how Wikipedia is run by volunteers.
There are loads of very capable people in the EA/AIS/rationality space who I’m sure are very capable to make informed decisions and could contribute—but wouldnt do it as a full time thing.
Might there be an option to have a votes-based system of distributing funds to promising projects?
