This project is now funded, thanks to people here & other sources! We are well underway executing on it & look forward to share some early results soon!

@Austin Thank you!

Just wanted to address your hesitation – in addition to the paper, we're planning a for-profit spin out structure. We want to do that well so as not to be co-opted by perverse incentives, or forced into building something "less than what could be", but it's part of the plan.

Personally, I think startups are unparalleled execution vehicles but (sometimes) poor research vehicles. For-profit incentives and/or investor pressure can lock you down prematurely. Conversely, non-profit research orgs (as us) are able to pursue open-ended questions freely, but limited in scaling and execution power.

For more details, see here.

Funding from this project was completed from other sources a while back. For updates on our progress, please follow us at https://meaningalignment.substack.com/.
