My intuition is that there are heaps of very talented people interested in AI Safety but 1/100 of the jobs.
A second intuition I have is that the rejected talent WON'T spillover into other cause areas much (biorisk, animal welfare, whatever) and may event spillover into capabilities!
Let's also assume more companies working towards AI Safety is a good thing (I'm not super interested in debating this point).
How do we get more AI Safety companies off the ground??
I'm reminded that I'm two years late on leaving an excorciating comment on the Longtermist Entrepreneurship Project postmortem. I have never been as angry at a post on here as I was at that one. I don't even know where to begin.
