This comment shows the challenge of the agreevote/disagreevote system:
I agree with the direction toward showing more cost-effectiveness analyses in other fields versus reducing their importance in global health/development.
I do not think the fanfic CEA is plausible, even at the 2-minute level, for some of the reasons identified by @titotal. That being said, the people funding fanfic distribution were probably interested in “people drawn to AI safety / x-risk mitigation” as their outcome variable / theory of impact, not donations made or individual lives saved. So the BOTEC is simultaneous too kind to and too demanding of that project.
Perhaps then in this case you just don’t agree or disagree when it’s 50/50? Looking at it now I also don’t think my little CEA is plausible, I do think it perhaps got taken a bit too seriously though :D!
Yeah, I didn’t vote either way, which is fine. I’m just confused about how to interpret the votes of those who did! Did they agree/disagree on both parts, or vote based on which part they thought was primary?
