To give just one example, I think Effective Altruists focus far too little on meta-science. Much of what they want to do depends on meta-science, and in science it's quite difficult to fund that sort of work, so it seems odd to me that it's not considered a top priority on 80,000 Hours.

I'm sure there are other areas, but I haven't put an effort into listing them. Global priorities work is pretty hard.

Also, apparently 80,000 Hours now considers AI safety only "somewhat neglected", so perhaps the EAs behind 80,000 Hours agree with me more than I thought. https://80000hours.org/problem-profiles/positively-shaping-a...

- Buying rainforest land and paying locals to guard it. - Greening energy production in developing countries. Their electrical grids are already unstable, so even improving energy just when the sun is shining could help. - Research into oceanic biologic collapse. - Finding and destroying illegal fishing operations. (Heck, make an AI boat do it, and you'll drum up even more support for AI alignment).

The first point is exactly what I donated to for a few years based on an EA recommendation 10 years ago!
