A new proposal on LessWrong argues that current AI safety funding is too conservative and fails to account for the possibility of imminent catastrophe. The author suggests shifting resources toward "weird" and radical projects, ranging from human genetic engineering and brain-computer interfaces to buying out physical compute bottlenecks. Per LessWrong, these unconventional strategies are justified because the potential upside of a breakthrough outweighs the reputational risk of failure in a scenario where humanity faces extinction.
