  Hey! Just wanted to flag that the website link doesn’t work! As a side note, we just launched a project with the same name, Scaling Altruism, without seeing your book’s title. Oh well x)

  We are currently waiting on a grant decision from LTFF. I think sending people to EA Brussels makes sense for now, they have a contact email on the website or you can send them directly to Tom if you know him, (I can also) share his contact. If you think that the person you run into could be promising for fieldbuilding, consider referring them to our EOI form! :)

  I’m not sure if he meant infosec, but there is a good article on that by 80k. https://​​80000hours.org/​​career-reviews/​​information-security/​​

  sorry for the late reply. SWE/​ML is low absorbency in a sense that there are a limited number of AIS orgs that can employ people. They are high absorbency if you want to use these skills to do earning to give. Hope that clarifies what I meant!

  I think this roughly makes sense?

  A crux here would be whether you think there are enough people and funding going to the most important opportunities/​directions of work.
  OP has a lot of money, but they are not funding everything. If you think they cover almost everything important then that is there is a stronger case for direct work (e.g. try to get a grant from them)

  You should also think about how confident you are that you can spend your own money effectively. Are you planning to choose projects to fund yourself? Will you defer to LTFF? How much do you trust the judgement of their evaluators compared to yours in knowing what’s important?

  You should likely explore high-absorbancy career paths (e.g., fieldbuilding, comms) as well, as the ones you refer to in the post seem to be low-absorbancy.

  Hey! Just wanted to double-check if this is still the case (as it is still on the website), considering that you will be getting a lot of applications for LTFF that would probably want funding for a longer period!

  Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Chris, I think you made some great additional suggestions. I also agree that that AISC shouldn’t try to compete with on the prestige front too much, and they complement each other nicely with SPAR that takes a more top-down approach and only(?) hosts established researches as leads.
