In the most extremely optimistic world, you could probably hire 50 extremely talented people by offering them $100M/year each (matching what Meta offered). You could probably also hire ~200 more junior people at $10M/year (the bottleneck on hiring more would be management capacity). So in total you could spend $7B/year.
Over time, I expect this to get more expensive since AI companies’ valuations will increase, and therefore, so will employee compensation.
I don’t know that the idea is fundamentally good but at least is scales somewhat with the equity of the safety-sympathetic people at labs?
