A 17-year-old post from Dario Amodei's grad school days has resurfaced: he wrote that a donation to child vaccine charities could save roughly 20 lives, and admitted it was emotionally hard to weigh such numbers while reading critical charity analyses on GiveWell. The reblogger confirms Dario did follow through, donating $10,000 — while still a student, long before becoming a billionaire.
