I remember seeing OpenAI like 10 years ago in GiveWell's list of charities along with water.org, deworm the world 80.000 hours and that kind of things.
It's a wild take to say that they have gotten nowhere and that they haven't found product-market fit.
- lupire 2y agoAre you sure? Good Ventures / Open Philanthropy (Dustin Moskovitz) funded GiveWell and OpenAI, and GiveWell's leadership floated to OpenAI, but I'm not convinced that GiveWell funded OpenAI. https://www.givewell.org/about/gw-op-relationship https://www.givewell.org/about/gw-op-relationship They are certainly both entangled with the Effective Altruism community, but GiveWell came from the "humanities/finance" side, not the tech bro technoutopia side.
