I don't believe AI 2027 will be my comparative advantage as a regranter, but I think AI 2027 is great, they're an excellent place to donate money, and I wanted to put my money where my mouth is with a token donation.
I was very impressed with AI 2027. While I don't agree with all of the assumptions, and it's substantially faster than I predict, I found it scarily plausible. It was very productive for concretising my own thoughts and making me more aware of key considerations, for example, whether an AI will try to align its successor. I think this kind of writing is valuable and I would love to see more.
It also seems to have been very well received publicly (much more so than I expected), getting a ton of attention while being much higher quality than the messages that many people may have previously been exposed to. The team has an excellent track record, and I think the success of AI 2027 gives them significant momentum, in addition to Daniel's profile and positive reputation as a whistleblower who tried to walk away from large amounts of money, so it's plausible to me that they can get a good amount of public/policy attention. Though I would be much more optimistic about this if they hired someone with substantial policy/lobbying experience.
While I don't expect to agree with the team on everything, I broadly think they have good judgment, care about the correct things, and will do things that are valuable and helpful. I view this donation and endorsement as a bet on the team and their future judgment, more so than any specific future plan.
