I think it’s dangerous to become trapped in “market” and “specialization” ways of thinking in something as underfunded as this. It’s not like there’s a thriving, bustling saving-the-world market out there and the SIAI have shown themselves to be market leaders. It’s more like they’re the only show in town (at least according to LW wisdom; I’d be very interested to know about their “competitors”).
Yes, I’m ready for some hard work. It’s my life goal after all.
Sorry, I shouldn’t have said “trusting 100%”. The point I was trying to make is that I see “just give all your money to the SIAI” as a stopsign and I’m trying to see beyond it.
Nothing I’ve said should be taken as a non-endorsement of the SIAI. I think they’re cute and awesome, and very likely to be getting some money from me soon.
