Shouldn't there be a disclosure of some sorts that MetaMed shares some sponsors with MIRI?
Better outcomes than what? Typical doctors' diagnostics, I assume?
I thought that was obvious by listing Jaan Tallinn as an x-risk funder and Peter Thiel, but yes, you're very correct that this should be explicitly stated on general principles. Will edit.
Obvious to LW readers, perhaps, but this is the kind of article that would be good to share! Thanks for adding it.
Why? That doesn't sound like much of a conflict of interest. Am I missing something?
If Metamed sponsored MIRI, that would definitely be an issue.
"Hey, MIRI folks, we're giving you a lot of money, how about you said a couple of nice words about this other company of ours?"
"Hey, our sponsors are funding another company, maybe if we helped promote that company and it ended up doing well, our sponsors would have more money to give us."
""Hey, our sponsors are funding another company, maybe if we helped promote that company our sponsors would be grateful and give us some extra money."
