Lightcone Commons is open for funding applications: create an account and submit a living document you can keep editing. Funders keep full discretion over where money goes.
- Jaan Tallinn, one of the biggest funders this round (behind Survival and Flourishing Fund, whose recommendations have been public for 6+ years), gives with an intellectually diverse longtermist approach — bulk going to AI x-risk work like Palisade Research, with a diverse tail from river rights advocacy to longevity.
- Dustin Moskovitz (Coefficient Giving) is another major first-round funder.
Poster Nathan Young urges anyone with an effective project to apply, even a quick draft.
