This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

Superintelligence Risk Project: Conclusion2017-09-15Jeff Kaufman Machine Intelligence Research Institute Review of current state of cause areaAI safetyThis is the concluding post (with links to all earlier posts) of a month-long investigation by Jeff Kaufman into AI risk.

The Privilege of Earning To Give2015-01-14Jeff Kaufman Jeff Kaufman and Julia Wise Miscellaneous commentaryJeff Kaufman explains why he engages in earning to give. He writes: "If I look at my situation, my race, class, and gender privilege have been helpful, but my nationality privilege is by far my biggest unearned advantage. Someone at the poverty line in the US earns more than 90% of people in the world, even after adjusting for money going farther in poorer countries. [...] So I earn to give. I can't reject my privilege, I can't give it back, the best I can do is use it to give back."

How Much Should You Give?2011-08-09Jeff Kaufman Jeff Kaufman and Julia Wise Miscellaneous commentaryIn this post related to earning to give, Jeff Kaufman discusses what percentage of one's income one should donate to charity. He says that for general advocacy of a single percentage, 10% is probably best. At an individual level, he recommends: "do as much good as you can for the level of personal suffering you are willing to accept." He also discusses the practice of tithing (donating 10%) for Jews and Christians, and then discusses the distinction between actual income and potential income (how somebody with high earning potential might choose to take on a lower-paying but more pleasant job, thereby being obliged to donate less).
