I believe this is the most important century for humanity. Without improving the political-economic systems that continue to concentrate wealth and power, transformative AI could accelerate us into dystopia within our lifetimes. My mission is to build the tools and develop the leaders we need to bring about an equitable, fulfilled future world.

Agreed. Framing and targeting is such that I estimate >80% of participants will fall in the $150-600k per year income range, and that thereās likely an even better descriptor of the relevant metric based on disposable income. I provide the broader income range for now to align with the IRS data on charitable giving.
Thanks for following upāthat is actually just a bug in the flow that is sadly too annoying to fix before I hopefully improve the whole demo experience and make it irrelevant :)
Thanks, Nithin! Iāll make the instructions clearer. For the demo, you need to adopt a āpersonaā that is within the target demographic to go through the experience from their perspective. Would it help to provide some realistic financial info to input for this persona (i.e., income of $200k, expenses of $5k/āmonth) or was it simply the lack of instruction that you needed to do this that caused the confusion?
And yes, adding videos/āimages is definitely on the roadmap to explore, with some hesitancies including the risk of emotional manipulation. Thereās research on visual media increasing prosocial behaviour, for example, the āwatching eyes effectā where ālaboratory and field experiments have shown that people are more likely to be prosocial in the presence of watching eyes imagesā. The intellectual honesty/āemotional manipulation of such interventions isnāt my area of expertise, so Iād be very grateful for any input from this community on heuristics for evaluating them.
Thanks for trying it out! I agree that what you describe is a bit of a failing of the current version. A true lottery should be random, making it just as likely to pick someone in the 86th percentile as the 6th percentile, but I agree that the flow ought to facilitate resampling and make the giving case on that basis. Iām working on a few things in this direction.
