Great to see the EA Opportunity Board back up and running! It’s such a valuable resource for connecting people with impactful work. I’m excited to see how the CEA Online Team will develop it further.

This is a thoughtful and well-structured post! I appreciate the breakdown of direct vs. indirect donations and the practical suggestions. The point about AI professionals being uniquely positioned to identify and evaluate opportunities is compelling. I hadn’t considered donating to funds like the AI Safety Tactical Opportunities Fund before, definitely something I’ll look into.

Effective altruists should diversify their focus beyond AI safety due to uncertainties in long-term outcomes and ethical frameworks. Supporting humanity's survival could unintentionally perpetuate suffering, while differing moral views challenge assumptions about existential risks. A balanced approach, distributing resources across causes, allows for more robust strategies amidst these uncertainties.

I appreciate how you challenge the traditional view of AI autonomy. The idea of peaceful coexistence rather than control is intriguing and could change how we approach AI development. I agree that we need to consider AIs as potential moral agents rather than just tools.
