The evidence is quite strong. You can most likely get more detail than you ever wanted from the GiveWell review.

It is also highly controversial to state that charity doesn't begin at home

Completely different scale. Not that we can determine what is true/correct by polling; but 29% of people chose to give internationally, while I would wager less than 1% would endorse the view that we should let humans suffer and die because otherwise they might eat animals.

My impression is that most EA oriented charities can already accept tax-advantaged donations from most countries via intermediaries. Is there a particular country/charity combination you are thinking of that is not currently possible?

New Incentives

Interesting idea. Even more so than for the 10% pledge, it seems to me that this one should be based on after-tax income, since otherwise getting more income could leave you with less spending money.

I disagree-voted, rather than downvoted, but I could understand downvoting on the basis that, like so many animal welfare pieces on the forum, this one smuggles in a ton of unstated and highly controversial beliefs about the value of animals. I feel like pieces like this should come with a disclaimer at the top saying, “warning: this essay rests on highly unconventional beliefs about the value of animal welfare”.

Personally I find repugnant the idea that we should let little kids suffer from malaria because of the chance they might grow up to eat chicken. The same logic could be used to justify school shootings.

Speaking for myself, this is the sort of thing that would make me more excited to sign a pledge.

Thanks for posting this.

Do we have an intuition for how to apply shapely values in typical EA scenarios, for example: • How much credit goes to donors, vs charity evaluators, vs object level charities? • How much credit goes to charity founders/executives, vs other employees/contractors? • How much credit goes to meta vs object organizations?

Hmm, I would argue than an AI which, when asked, causes human extinction is not aligned, even if it did exactly what it was told.
