I thought this post would be the much more interesting topic of how to rationally determine how much to give to SENS and SIAI respectively given that you want a positive singularity and want to live to see it.
I know one dude who left his career (programmer?) in order to study biology; he now works on anti-aging stuff in the relevant Oxford department. His motivation is only party to speed the research; it’s also to ensure he has access to it if it’s prohibitively expensive.
