"8 lives saved per dollar donated to the Machine Intelligence Research Institute. — Anna Salamon"

I don't think you should form your opinion of Anna from this video. It gave me an initially very unfavorable impression that I updated away from after a few in-person conversions.

(If you read the other things I write you'll know that I'm nowhere close to a MIRI fanatic so hopefully the testimonial carries some weight.)
