Raymond Douglas comments on Raymond Douglas’s Shortform

[Raymond Douglas]

On this very day, Matt Levine comments on EA and AI risk:

Now, of course, the way to make real money is by working at a frontier AI lab. This suggests that the optimal current form of effective altruism is:

1. Work at a frontier AI lab that is sprinting to build artificial superintelligence as quickly as possible.

2. Get paid like $100 million a year.

3. Live modestly and donate all of your earnings to a charity that is trying to stop frontier AI labs from building artificial superintelligence that might wipe out humanity.

I can see no flaws in this approach.
