I am a fan of the idea since they announced it and I wouldn't see why someone on here could be against it.
Opportunity costs. We'd prefer it was spent on a Mars colony than on most things, but if we're spending money on x-risk reduction, it might not be the most cost-effective way to help.
Can you name an alternative way of spending money that is clearly more cost effective in reducing x risk? (I ask this in a sincere attempt to know what your views and those of other LW users are.)
Nothing leaps to mind, other than the obvious SIAI and FHI.
