OK, thanks for clarifying. So my proposal would be: if a person wants to do / found / fund an AGI-x-risk-mitigating research project, they should consider their background, their situation, the specific nature of the research project, etc., and decide on a case-by-case basis whether the best home for that research project is academia (e.g. CHAI) versus industry (e.g. DeepMind, Anthropic) versus nonprofits (e.g. MIRI) versus independent research. And a priori, it could be any of those. Do you agree with that?

Yes, I do indeed :)
You can frame it if you want as: founders should aim to expand the range of academic opportunities, and engage more with academics.
