livgorton · x · 2026-10-09
livgorton responds to tracewoodgrains' criticism of EA allocation frameworks. Though she says she spends much time privately and publicly criticizing EA, she pushes back here: she'd genuinely like to hear how to allocate scarce resources other than by vibes, in a way that doesn't force one to bite uncomfortable bullets when applied maximally.
A continuation of the same EA allocation-framework debate; the core challenge is that critics offer no alternative scheme.
