I really wish you get the funding you need to at least take some extended leave from your day-job, to see what you can do when you get to sleep at what ever time you want, and also devote your mind to AI Safety full time.
Like others have said, this sounds like something you might potentially get a grant for.
However, you should know that unfortunately money is tight for most project since the FTX crash. I just got another reminder of this, seeing this post.
I still think you should apply! It’s worth a try. But don’t take it too hard if you get rejected.
Yep, agreed. I’m just glad that (allegedly?) the LTFF is still doing specifically the upskilling-grant thing.
Bad-case, I get to have to work on harebrained side-business ideas as well, while jobless-and-not-yet-funded (or even while-funded-but-not-for-a-long-runway, possibly?).

But this is just me making guesses.
