Good point. This seems to be a pro-Romney argument.
But the existential risk argument seems tenuous—does Thiel contribute to SIAI, for instance? If not, who does contribute?
does Thiel contribute to SIAI, for instance?
To such an extent that yesterday someone felt compelled to point out that he only contributes “maybe half or less” of SIAI’s budget.
