Coincidentally, I’ve recently been toying with the idea of setting up a consulting company which would allow people who want to work on “indy” research like AI safety to make money by working on programming projects part-time.
The key would be to 1) find fun/interesting consulting projects in areas like ML, AI, data science and 2) use the indy research as a marketing tool to promote the consulting business.
It should be pretty easy for good programmers with no family obligations to support themselves comfortably by working half-time on consulting projects.
I recently had an idea for an app that would make use of natural language processing and provide a service to businesses doing online marketing. I think there’s a pretty good chance businesses would be willing to pay for this service, and after a quick Google search, I don’t think there are companies doing anything similar yet. If you or anyone else interested in AI safety wants to hear more, feel free to send me a PM.

I thought online marketing businesses were powerful enough…
