1) I see a trend in the way new EAs concerned about the far future think about where to donate money that seems dangerous, it goes:
I am an EA and care about impactfulness and neglectedness -> Existential risk dominates my considerations -> AI is the most important risk -> Donate to MIRI.
The last step frequently involves very little thought, it borders on a cached thought.
How would you be conceiving of donating your X-risk money at the moment if MIRI did not exist? Which other researchers or organizations should be being scrutinized by donors who are X-risk concerned, and AI persuaded?
