I think this could have a really big impact and has great potential. Zakat is a big thing in the Muslim world and making even some of it more effective is worth pursuing!

Yeah totally! Planning to go to EAG Bay Area, and I go to school at McMaster University and will be flying out of Toronto.

[Question] Where to find EAG funding support?

What are some negative and positive sentiments about OpenAI within the EA community?

I know OpenPhil made them a 30m grant in 2017, but Holden no longer seems to be on the board and a bunch of people left to create Anthropic. Whats up with that?

For anyone interested in this topic, I recommend listening to this podcast, which hosts Kevin Esvelt and Jonas Sandbrink. They cover a lot of similar ground as the paper and I found it to be a pretty good listen.
