Defending Dario: as a grad student he meticulously planned how to give away $10k

The author defends Dario Amodei against criticism of his early giving: as a grad student, Dario earnestly researched how to make a $10k donation go as far as possible. The author argues this diligence is commendable even if he made a narrow bad argument — one that ultimately didn't even influence his decision. The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics frames why earnest do-gooders attract disproportionate blame.
