A note, though… if I had a billion dollars and decided just to give it to whoever GiveWell recommended as their top-rated international charities, due to most charities’ difficulty in converting significant extra funds into the same level of effect, I would end up giving 1+10+50+1+0.3+5=67.3 million to 6 different charities and then become confused at what to do with my 932.7 million dollars.
I know the Gates Foundation does look like a coalition of agents rather than a single agent, but it doesn’t look like a coalition of 7549+ agents. I’d guess at most about a dozen and probably fewer Large Components.
