A bit sad to find out that Open Philanthropy’s (now Coefficient Giving) GCR Cause Prioritization team is no more.  I heard it was removed/restructured mid-2025. Seems like most of the people were distributed to other parts of the org. I don't think there were public announcements of this, though it is quite possible I missed something.  I imagine there must have been a bunch of other major changes around Coefficient that aren't yet well understood externally. This caught me a bit off guard.  There don't seem to be many active online artifacts about this team, but I found this hiring post from early 2024, and this previous AMA. 

EA Animal Welfare Fund almost as big as Coefficient Giving FAW now? This job ad says they raised >$10M in 2025 and are targeting $20M in 2026. CG's public Farmed Animal Welfare 2025 grants are ~$35M.   Is this right? Cool to see the fund grow so much either way.

I've been experimenting recently with a longtermist wiki, written fully with LLMs. Some key decisions/properties: 1. Fully LLM-generated, heavily relying on Claude Code. 2. Somewhat opinionated. Tries to represent something of a median longtermist/EA longview, with a focus on the implications of AI. All pages are rated for "importance". 3. Claude will estimates a lot of percentages and letter grades for things. If you see a percentage or grade, and there's no citation, it might well be a guess by Claude. 4. An emphasis on numeric estimates, models, and diagrams. I had it generate many related models to different topics, some are better than others. Might later take the best ones and convert to Squiggle models or similar.  5. Still early & experimental. This is a bit in-between an official wiki and a personal project of interest now. I expect that things will become more stable over time. For now, expect pages to change locations, and terminology to be sometimes inconsistent, etc. I overall think this space is pretty exciting right now, but it definitely brings challenges and requires cleverness. https://www.longtermwiki.com/ https://www.longtermwiki.com/knowledge-base/responses/epistemic-tools/tools/longterm-wiki/ Recently I've been working on some pages about Anthropic and the OpenAI Foundation's potentials for impact.  For example, see: https://www.longtermwiki.com/knowledge-base/organizations/funders/anthropic-investors/ https://www.longtermwiki.com/knowledge-base/organizations/funders/openai-foundation/ There's also a bunch of information on specific aspects of AI Safety, different EA organizations, and a lot more stuff.  It costs about $3-6 to add a basic page, maybe $10-$30 to do a nicer page. I could easily picture wanting even better later on. Happy to accept requests to add pages for certain organizations/projects/topics/etc that people here might be interested!  Also looking for other kinds of feedback! I should also flag that one way to use it is

It seems like a worthwhile project to ask/pressure Anthropic's founders to make their pledges legally binding.  Anthropic's founders have pledged to donate 80% of their wealth. Ozzie Gooen estimates that in a few years this could be worth >$40 billion. As Ozzie writes, adherence to the Giving Pledge (the Gates one) is pretty low: only 36% of deceased original pledgers met the 50% commitment. It's hard to follow through on such commitments, even for (originally) highly morally motivated people.

It is popular to hate on Swapcard, and yet Swapcard seems like the best available solution despite its flaws. Claude Code or other AI coding assistants are very good nowadays, and conceivably, someone could just Claude Code a better Swapcard that maintained feature parity while not having flaws. Overall I'm guessing this would be too hard right now, but we do live in an age of mysteries and wonders. It gets easier every month. One reason for optimism is it seems like the Swapcard team is probably not focused on the somewhat odd use case of EAGs in general (e.g. from what I understand, most conferences in the world have much less emphasis on 1-1 meetings). And if you made a Swapcard replacement good enough to replace Swapcard for CEA event purposes, just think of the glory. (And the impact.)
