Due to what I understand to be trickiness in communicating Dustin’s relationship to PR risk to the EA community, there isn’t a ton of clarity on what things OP would fund via GV, but some guesses on stuff where I expect OP to be hesitant for PR-ish reasons, but which the LTFF would definitely consider:
A grant to Manifold Markets (who I expect Dustin would not be in favor of funding due to hosting certain right-leaning intellectuals at their conferences)
A grant to Nick Bostrom to work on FHI-ish stuff
A grant to a right-leaning AI think tank
A grant to rationalist community building, in as much as it would be effective for improving the long term future
A grant to work on digital sentience
Grants to various high-school programs like Atlas
AI pause or stop advocacy
Distributing copies of HPMoR to various promising people around the world
Again, there isn’t much clarity on what things OP might or might not fund via GV, but my current best guess is none of the things on the list above could currently get GV funding.
All of these map onto my understanding of what they wouldn’t fund, but note that they have funded Atlas in the past, and also provide funding for Non-trivial which engage with young people including high-schoolers. They also fund ML4Good for in-person bootcamps
Open Phil’s funding interests and priorities and constraints have drastically changed in the last year or two. I agree they funded many things like this in the past.
