You're in charge of allocating funds for a project aimed at reducing excessive animal product consumption. Do you invest in research for developing artificial meat, which could potentially offer an ethical alternative to animal farming, or promote the use of Ozempic, a medication that can reduce overall consumption habits, including food intake, thus indirectly reducing demand for animal products?

As the head of an environmental charity, would you rather fund a fusion energy research project with a highly uncertain chance of success, or a large-scale solar power project that will power a million homes?

You're at a career crossroads. Do you join a lucrative private sector job to gain skills and capital (with a plan to shift to altruistic endeavors later), or start immediately in a non-profit role with direct impact but possibly limited capital?

As the head of an educational charity, would you rather fund a highly innovative educational program in a wealthy country that could set a global example, or provide basic education in a poor country, directly impacting many lives but without the potential for global influence?

Decide between funding a longevity research project that could double the average human lifespan but is decades away from any results, or supporting current health interventions in a developing country, saving thousands of lives now.

You have a billion dollars, and it ALL goes to either technical AI safety research or AI policy/governance.
