Who or what is the “average AI safety funder”? Is it a private individual, a small specialized organization, a larger organization supporting many causes, an AI think tank for which safety is part of a capabilities program...?
I asked because I’m pretty sure that I’m being badly wasted (i.e. I could be making much more substantial contributions to AI safety), but I very rarely apply for support, so I thought I’d ask for information about the funding landscape from someone who has been exploring it.
And by the way, your brainchild AI-Plans is a pretty cool resource. I can see it being useful for e.g. a frontier AI organization which thinks they have an alignment plan, but wants to check the literature to know what other ideas are out there.

I think this is the case for most in AI Safety rn

Thanks! Doing a bunch of stuff atm, to make it easier to use and a larger userbase.
