  On AI alarmists:
  
  A fair-sized stream seems vast to one who until then
  Has never seen a greater; so with trees, with men.
  In every field each man regards as vast in size
  The greatest objects that have come before his eyes
  (Lucretius)

  Oh, that’s a very interesting idea! I knew about Emergent Ventures but never thought of applying. Will definitely give it a try!
