I doubt my ability to usefully spend more than $10 million/year on the Singularity. What do you do with the rest of the money?
Well I admit it’s a hell of a diminishing returns curve. OK… Dear Santa, please can I have an army of minions^H^H^H^Htrusted experts to research cool but relatively neglected stuff like intelligence enhancement, life extension (but not nanotech) & how to feed and educate the third world without screwing it up. And deal with those pesky existential risks. Oh, and free cryonics for everyone—let’s put those economies of scale to good use. Basically keep people alive till the FAI guys get there. Then just enjoy the ride, cos if I’ve just been handed $10^13 I’m probably in a simulation. More so than usual.
