You've funded a what looks from my vantage point to be a huge portion of the quality-adjusted attempts to avert doom, perhaps a majority. Much appreciation for stepping up for humanity.

Thanks so much Jaan! AI Futures Project / AI 2027 got off the ground in significant part thanks to you!

[-]denkenberger7mo70

Thanks for all your philanthropy! Do you have a giving end game plan in light of your timelines?

[-]jaan7mo142

no plan, my timelines are quite uncertain (and even if i knew for sure that money will stop mattering in 2 years, it’s not obvious at all what to spend it on).

[-]Metacelsus7mo64

Thanks for your support! I really think you're making a great impact here.

Here's an essay about Europeans not spending as much on charity as Americans. You are an European, but spending a lot in the US. Now, I wonder how much of that is caused just by US having more interesting options to invest in. https://www.siliconcontinent.com/p/where-are-europes-yimbys

[-]jaan7mo100

yup, it's about options (both in my philanthropy as well as investments). that, and some path-dependency: when i got interested in AI safety, almost all the people who knew anything about it were in the bay area (plus some in oxford at the FHI) -- so this is where i found my collaborators.
