I believe all good institutions have pretty clean pathways to becoming self-funding. My AI alignment research team has always been self-funding, and we’re happy to help the few other responsible parties in this space reach these levels too. Lightcone should get in contact with me. Replying to this comment is fine.
Sure, I am curious! Though I am not super sure what you mean by self-funding. I would love for Lightcone to run on various forms of revenue we produce, but it doesn’t seem that closely within reach, unless we want to spend a lot of effort on activities optimized to make revenue and not impact, but I do think marginal steps in that direction would be good (and Lighthaven is reasonably close to that target, potentially).
