The case for deworming is about deworming tablets being a very cheap intervention that provides a lot of value. It’s not centrally about the total size of the impact of the harm that worms cause.
A cause area where we have potentially very cheap intervention is structurally different than AI risk where we don’t know an invention to solve it and therefore need to up our game as rationalists.
Though I also want to point out that MIRI-style research seems like a very cheap intervention relative to global warming. And here I’m talking about the research they should be doing, if they had $10 million.
