Agreed! I’ve been thinking about this a lot for myself the last few months and I think others should be considering it too. I wrote this piece more as, “conditional on you not planning to switch, you should at least do the following."
I think it’s unlikely that lots of GHW or animal grantmakers switch to working on AI, mainly because grantmakers have a comparative advantage in their existing field and are arguably worse positioned to be an AI grantmaker compared to hiring someone with years of experience out of an existing AI non-profit, plus various personal identity & organizational reasons.
At the same time, I think there's probably loads of alpha on the table for GHW/animals that we’re on track to leave on the table in the status quo.Â
Also very aware that maybe on some level, this is all still a form of being in denial even if it's a Pareto improvement, idk.
