By "greater threat to AI safety" you mean it's a bigger culprit in terms of amount of x-risk caused, right? As opposed to being a threat to AI safety itself, by e.g. trying to get safety researchers removed from the industry/government (like this).
"Individual donors shouldn't diversify their donations"
Arguments in favor:
- this is the strategy that maximizes the benefit to the recipients
Arguments against:
- it's personally motivating to stay in touch with many causes
- when each cause comes up in a conversation with non-EAs, you can mention you've donated to it
Moral uncertainty is completely irrelevant at the level of individual donors.
