This is such a good demonstration of the problem with effective alturism. Does anyone in their right mind think that Ken Griffin made a calculation of what was going to provide the most efficient use of his capital when he made this decision? Nope! And this is a problem that EA has always suffered from - they view a complex social and emotional problem as a logic puzzle, and are often blind to their own idiosynchrasies. How much time does EA waste whining on about AI safety? Way too much! But from their actuarial perspective it's almost a divide by zero bug - "What's the chances of an AI? Some small number, what could it's impact be? Oh, infinite. Ok, guess we should dedicate every penny we have to that then...". EA doesn't meet charity on it's own terms.
