My issue with EA is similar to the posts point - it seems to be a lot of money being moved around between EA organizations finding their own blue sky philosophy research. For example the Future of Humanities Institute is funded by Giving What We Can, which passes funds to some AI orgs in SF, that the guys at FHI collaborate with, etc… I agree with their points but the actual funding of EA infrastructure appears to be a huge circle jerk.
- anonymous_sorry 4y agoI've found that the funds are generally quite clear where the money goes. Givewell have a separate fund for EA infrastructure.
- exdsq 4y agoYes, they are, but the issue is it’s so intertwined between the people in EA funds and their supported charities its hard to not be skeptical.
