Do you think you could advance these goals by working for one of the many companies building alternative proteins? Or are there special benefits to independent work? The latter totally seems possible, but the former would eliminate the need for EA to evaluate and fund the project while still enabling it.
My thoughts on this are similar to what Fai wrote. By working for one company, any work I do would only benefit that specific company. My own goal, however, is to solve a bottleneck that applies to many companies in that space, then make it available to all of them, thus having a much higher ROI, impact-wise.
I thought about using AI/ML to help alternative protein research and thought about whether it is better for talents to work for one of the alt-pro companies, or independently. I think I much prefer to see independent work on this because the research results will be much more likely to be shared among the whole industry. If I am a funder I think I will only consider funding this if this work will be open source.
