Reading posts like “This might be the last AI Safety Camp” makes me feel very sad. The degree to which AI Safety is currently funding-constrained is clearly inadequate on the national and civilisational levels.
Maybe let’s try to make a smart counter-move and accelerate the development of for-profit AI Safety projects (see also the comments to that post, and this post)? With the obvious idea to pull some VC money, which is a different pool than AI safety philanthropic funds.
Potential collaborations:

More?
P.S. I’m not a professional organiser or community builder, nor a startup accelerator program manager, so just floating the idea, but I’d be very eager to participate if something like this is organised.
I used to be in an EA Entrepreneurship Slack, though I don’t have the link for that any more.
