If AGI takes on the same values as humanity as a whole, factory-farming will continue, this means it would not go well for the animals.

Good job presenting this in such a clear and concise manner. Thank you for all the great work you are doing! 

Researchers simulate an entire fly brain on a laptop. Is a human brain next?

What is the implication of this for EA thinking? Does the fly that purely exists in the computer warrant moral consideration, and could we increase the overall welfare of the world by making millions of these simulations with ideal fruit-fly conditions? 
 

They fully copied the brain of the fly, so from my understanding it should also feel pleasure and pain in theory, I think this poses a real conundrum for EA morality.

Thanks for this! I will definitely try to implement some of this helpful advice :)

Cool website!

One question: why are most of the SOTA models Claude? Is it because Anthropic is the company that releases the most data about their models? I thought that by most measures, Gemini would be the SOTA model today.

Very inspiring, well done!

Cool project!

One point of improvement I noticed was that when it asked for zip-code you could only add American ones, I would suggest adding  an option to choose different countries! I think the platform could be especially popular with Europeans, so I would suggest focusing on adding those countries first.

Anyway, I like the platform and I feel like it has a lot of potential to do good. Good work!

Far-future effects are the most important determinant of what we ought to do

I think we need to take a mixed approach, as it is extremely hard to predict what will happen in the far future. Improving the world today will also generally make the future better.

For further reading on this topic I would highly recommend the book "The Divide" by Jason Hickle. In this book he shows how the trade rules and international trade organizations are set up in an extractive way, and how more money flows out from Africa to Western countries than the other way around.
I think changing the ways the global economic organizations see development, and opening for more policy flexibility for low-income countries is something that can make a huge difference in development efforts long-term.

I like this! Though I feel like a lot of the numbers are based on long-termist speculation rather than empiricism, which I think could hinder it from being widely adopted. It might also be cool to add how many lives the billionaires could potentially save if they donated most of their wealth.
