Oh, cool, interesting. This is however the for-profit casino affiliate business, that donates it's commission to charity. Closer to what @Brad West🔸 described
I appreciate your take @Ozzie Gooen.Â
I agree that casinos are an evil business, and I would be extremely wary of making people worse off in a hope to "make it up" by charitable contributions.Â
 @Brad West🔸 have already answered point by point, so I'll just add that I believe it's better to think of my proposal as a charity, that also provides games to it's customers, rather than casino that donates it's profits.Â
I'd argue that regular casinos are net positive for people without a gambling addiction, who treat is as an evening entertainment with an almost guaranteed loss. The industry preys on people who lost more then they could afford and are trying to get even, and it is not possible case.Â
I struggle to imagine someone, who would donate more to their DAF that they feel comfortable with because they felt devastated that money went to the charity of not their choice.Â
@Brad West🔸 , thanks for sharing your thoughts! This is what I thought of initially, but then "pivoted to" the complete non-profit framing, mainly because winning in the actual casino would mean that you are in effect taking money from charities. Probably even more important is the legal advantage of my proposalÂ
I use many of the same subscriptions, but also monica (refferal link), only for it's ui basically: when highlighting the text on a webpage you can press "explain" among other options, and it elaborates on a term/phrase/sentence, I didn't feel like I understood enough. As with perplexity you can customize which model to use under the hood
Doesn't resilience imply reduction of x-risk?Â
I define x-risk as "risk of extinction and permanent drastic curtailment of humanity's potential"
Can't from the top of my head imagine a way to become more resilient to a catastrophe while not simultaneously reducing the x-risk.
