Red flags a-wavin’. I hope I’m wrong. I really do. My biggest surprise is that it’s attracting so much investment money from people who have a good track record of investment success.
If investors today are truly willing to fund off-the-wall research ideas as venture capital, maybe I should be more willing to throw a few wild ideas of my own at them. Anybody wanna throw $200k at “pay me for a year to just think and write about AI safety”? A million for “suborbital projectiles to inject atmospheric gasses in front of space debris”?
