I donated $3,000. I’ve gained and will continue to gain a huge amount of value from LW and other activities of Lightcone Infrastructure, so it seemed like a cooperative and virtuous move to donate.[1]
I tried to donate at a level such that if all people using LW followed a similar policy to me, Lightcone would be likely be reasonably funded, at least for the LW component.
I think marginal funding to Lightcone Infrastructure beyond the ~$3 million needed to avoid substantial downsizing is probably worse than some other funding opportunities. So, while I typically donate larger amounts to a smaller number of things, I’m not sure if I will donate a large amount to Lightcone yet. You should interpret my $3,000 donation as indicating “this is a pretty good donation opportunity and I think there are general cooperativeness reasons to donate” rather than something stronger.
