By “billions of dollars are at stake” I concretely meant “OpenPhil exists, which LW has demonstrably had at least some influence on, which has influence over billions of dollars.” (And a couple other things in that reference class but lower order of magnitude, and potentially more things in the future at a higher order of magnitude)
There are other relevant things that _also_ change the landscape, but that was the reason I phrased it as “billions of dollars are at stake.”
