Anyway, your comment suggests that FAI should take its funding primarily from the most selfish of rationalists who still have a trace of altruism in them, since FAI would be the only project where expected utilons can be purchased so cheaply as to move them; and leave more altruistic funding to more mundane projects.
No, I’d say that at the moment all money one has power over should go to FAI, until it is funded at a level of about 0.1% of world GDP, or about a billion a year. That includes the funding of true altruists, and of “trace” altruists who are (say) prepared to donate 1% of their effort to help others. At that point, you’d have to do a more careful analysis which I don’t have time or knowledge for.
