Yep, the field is sort of underfunded, especially after the FTX crash. That’s why I suggested grantwriting as a potential career path.
In general, for newcomers to the field, I very strongly recommend booking a career coaching call with AI Safety Support. They have a policy of not turning anyone down, and quite a bit of experience in funneling newcomers at any stage of their career into the field. https://80000hours.org/ are also a worthwhile address, though they can’t make the time to talk with everyone.
