I can only find capabilities jobs right now. I would be interested in starting a tiny applied research org or something. How hard is it to get funding for that? I don’t have a strong relevant public record, but I did quite a lot of work at METR and elsewhere.
It might be easier to try to establish some track record by doing a small research project first. I don’t know if you have enough runway for this though.
Yeah I just wanted to check that nobody is giving away money before I go do the exact opposite thing I’ve been doing. I might try to tidy something up and post it first

What do you mean by “applied research org”? Like, applied alignment research?
Yes.
I do think I could put a good team together and make decent contributions quickly
