Ooh, I know! So, Holden is aware of SENS. However, by default, GiveWell doesn’t publish any info on charities it looks at and decides not to recommend, if they don’t ask GiveWell to. This is to encourage other charities to go through GiveWell’s recommendation process—it keeps GiveWell from lowering a charity’s reputation by evaluating them.
Anyways, GiveWell did some sort of surface-level look at SENS a while back, and didn’t recommend them. I think the only way to get more info about this would be to email Aubrey about his interaction with GiveWell.
