After having written an annual review of AI safety organisations for six years, I intend to stop this year. I’m sharing this in case someone else wanted to in my stead.
Reasons
It is very time consuming and I am busy.
I have a lot of conflicts of interests now.
The space is much better funded by large donors than when I started. As a small donor, it seems like you either donate to:
A large org that OP/FTX/etc. support, in which case funging is ~ total and you can probably just support any.
A large org than OP/FTX/etc. reject in which case there is a high chance you are wrong.
A small org OP/FTX/etc. haven’t heard of, in which case I probably can’t help you either.
Part of my motivation was to ensure I stayed involved in the community but this is not at threat now.
Hopefully it was helpful to people over the years. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

There’s a question about other social movements people might associate themselves with. How was the list of suggestions created? At present, the list is very left-wing:
Animal rights
Environmentalist
Feminist
LGBTQ
Rationalist/LessWrong
Transhumanist
Skeptic/atheist
Other:
Ordinarily this would only be a small problem, but then you ask people about their political views after you’ve primed them with left-wing examples.
universal death is the mind killer
sounds legit to me!
It seems both Harry and Dumbledore are missing one of the big payoffs of Harry saving Hermione: making it very attractive to become his freind. There’s no explicit enemy around at the moment, so he can’t rally minions like Dumbledore did by using the threat of Voldermort; love might be his best option.
Survey completed! Also, everyone, please cooperate!
Yvain, will you reveal who won the money? Whether they cooperated or defected?
I finally submitted my Alcor application form.
When we say ‘rationality’, we mean instrumental rationality; getting what you want. Elsewhere, we also refer to epistemic rationality, which is believing true things. In neither case do we say anything about what you should want.
It might be a good thing to care about cows, but it’s not rationality as we understand the word. Good you bring this up though, as I can easily imagine others being confused.

Have a second karma bubble, that only sums the upvotes and downvotes you’ve given that person.
My initial reaction was
“Unfortunately I think this is too far away to have much impact on NPVs now. Say it takes 5 years to develop the technology, and 20 years for early adopters to mature and enter the workforce. Suppose the rate of RGDP growth increases from 2.5% → 10%, and we use a discount rate of 8%. I don’t think you’ll get much movement in NPV”
But then I actually worked it out in excel and the NPV triples. So thank you for the good suggestion!
There’s not point being annoyed at nature, but a precommitment to revenge is useful.
