CorrineHOST

One of its large backers is Good Ventures, a foundation set up by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskowitz and his wife, Carrie Tuna.
CorrineHOST
Good Ventures website homepage reads, we aim to accelerate progress, reduce suffering, and mitigate the greatest risks to a flourishing world.
CorrineHOST
Okay, very EA.
CorrineHOST
Apparently, one of coefficient giving tactics for doing so is funding the Tarbell Center for AI Journalism.
CorrineHOST
The news coverage of AI is paid for by AIDoomers, a large Tarbell grant.
CorrineHOST
The organization plans to spend $10 million in total by the end of 2027. went to an NPR podcast by AI journalists Kevin Roos and Casey Newton.

Sherry WongGUEST
by? Yeah.
Sherry WongGUEST
So they are basically open philanthropy, which was the same, like the main Dustin Moskowitz and Carrie Tuna.
Sherry WongGUEST
They were like old Facebook co-founders money.
Sherry WongGUEST
Yeah.
Sherry WongGUEST
And, like, it's useful, right? It's a useful thing to have a different name.
Sherry WongGUEST
Just for full
JakeHOST
disclosure, I will admit that, like, since we're interested in AI harm, we've gone to the website of coefficient giving slash open philanthropy and look for grants that we could apply for.
JakeHOST
And we have found zero grants that we could apply for because they're only interested in questions that we think are too abstract to, to, to consider.
Jason CalacanisHOST
Open AI and Clonk.
Lon HarrisHOST
Yeah, Open Philanthropy and Coefficient Giving, which are both big EA-aligned sources, they're also substantial funders of Meter.
Lon HarrisHOST
So this is where a lot of this kind of, what is their actual approach to AI safety? Is it aligned with most Americans? I need
Jason CalacanisHOST
to know the conflicts of interest.
Michael IgoeHOST
And the way I'm thinking about it is there are these funders out there who really want to be funding the most effective things.
Michael IgoeHOST
And I spoke with Alexander Berger, for example, from Coefficient Giving.
Michael IgoeHOST
They're looking for for problems that are neglected, tractable, important.
Michael IgoeHOST
They're using this sort of criteria to drill down.
Danielle BayerGUEST
It's working in a lot of the poorest places in the world.
Danielle BayerGUEST
And so it is a different worldview than some other organizations take.
Danielle BayerGUEST
We are very grateful that GiveWell has been our biggest historical supporter alongside Coefficient Giving.
Danielle BayerGUEST
The two often work collaboratively.

Thanks to our beta testers for testing and feedback, and to Coefficient Giving for funding the platform.

How long will it stay free? Basically for as long as we are still excited about the research that people do with the platform and as the grant permits, at least a year.

Can you add Model X? Probably, if enough active users demand it.
Robert WrightHOST
In fact, it was EA money that helped found...
Robert WrightHOST
And a guy who runs, I guess, the biggest EA philanthropy, open philanthropy, is married to Dario's sister.
Robert WrightHOST
And she has a high ranking position at Anthropic.
Robert WrightHOST
But we didn't really talk about.

Robert WrightHOST
At the same time, I certainly take your point that you would think that the government might get involved in this kind of thing.
Robert WrightHOST
And this kind of gets back to our conversation last time when we talked about the ideology of Northern California and how heavily libertarian it is.
Robert WrightHOST
And I guess one question is, Do you, again, I don't know the individual people, the guy who runs Open Philanthropy, what's his name, Karnofsky? But is it your sense that that kind of libertarian, deeply anti-regulatory mindset prevails within this, the kind of the philanthropic infrastructure that sustains these groups?
Connor LeahyGUEST
Yes.

Which of course is not how it works.

It's fun to now continuously see claims of the class asterisk is funded by coefficient giving, formerly open philanthropy.
Type 3 AudioNARRATOR
It really is remarkable that at NY Magazine didn't disclose the ties that one of its co-authors on the piece has when the piece does actually disclose this as the lead of the article.

Welcome to politics, capital P.
Type 3 AudioNARRATOR
As much as Tyler just says things regarding AI existential risk, he agrees that obviously we should pay more attention to AI safety as well as other EA causes like global poverty.
Type 3 AudioNARRATOR
Does Tyler have digs and critiques as well? Why, yes, he does, but to be directionally right on the margin is high praise from a co-author of Marginal Revolution.
Type 3 AudioNARRATOR
Coefficient Giving's Alexander Berger responded to Tyler's defense while accepting that yes, EAs can be arrogant.
Type 3 AudioNARRATOR
I will sidestep the AI existential risk rhetoric on both sides since we've heard it all before.
Zvi MowshowitzHOST
There are plenty of public and acknowledged connections between various EA orgs and people and funders, which causes some to then try and force QAnon styles of connections, such as person P who funded or invested in X also funded Y, therefore, X funded Y, which of course is not how it works.
