If I earmark my donations for "HPMOR Finale or CPA Audit whichever comes first" would that act as positive or negative pressure towards Eliezer's fiction creation complex? (I only ask because bugging him for an update has been previously suggested to reduce update speed)
Furthermore. Oracle AI/Nanny AI seem to both fail the heuristic of "other country is about to beat us in a war, should we remove the safety programming" that I use quite often with nearly everyone I debate AI about from outside the LW community. Thank you both for writing such concise yet detailed responses that helped me understand the problem areas of Tool AI better.
In general - never earmark donations. It's a stupendous pain in the arse to deal with. If you trust an organisation enough to donate to them, trust them enough to use the money for whatever they see a need for. Contrapositive: If you don't trust them enough to use the money for whatever they see a need for, don't donate to them.
I never have before but this CPA Audit seemed like a logical thing that would encourage my wealthy parents to donate :)
