@Buck I think the world would’ve been a better place if OpenPhil dumped all of their money on MIRI with a condition that they have to spend in in the next five years.
As someone who’s worked at MIRI, I disagree regardless of when you are imagining them doing this.
Conditioned on agreeing with them about AI xrisk stuff and also about high level strategy, I think giving them money now seems better than in the past.
