While I would be interested in contributing to someone’s independent research, a vague post on LW doesn’t come anywhere close to meeting my minimum threshold for confidence to do such a thing. I would recommend that you continue working and spend your free time writing a paper or an intricate analysis or something else to inspire confidence in your potential to contribute significantly to the singularity/AI body of knowledge. Otherwise, why shouldn’t I just donate my money to SIAI?
