Lightcone Commons donor-routing mechanism draws candid caveat from evaluator
NathanpmYoung · x · 2026-11-03
NathanpmYoung says he would happily evaluate grants for donors who dislike AI safety and want to fund only a "Make London/SF function" fund via Lightcone Commons — even recommending projects he doesn't consider most effective. He clarifies that Lightcone Commons makes no grants itself: recommendations come from a specific evaluator or the external funder's direct choice, and the platform just moves money from funders to recipients.
