10M$ sounds like it’d be a lot for PauseAI-type orgs imo, though admittedly this is not a very informed take.
Anyways, I stand by my comment; I expect throwing money at PauseAI-type orgs is better utility per dollar than nvidia even after taking into account that investing in nvidia to donate to PauseAI later is a possibility.
I do think it’s conceptually nicer to donate to PauseAI now rather than rely on the investment appreciating enough to offset the time-delay in donation. Not that it’s necessarily the wrong thing to do, but it injects a lot more uncertainty into the model that is difficult to quantify.

Pause AI has a lot of opportunity for growth.
Especially the “increase public awareness” lever is hugely underfunded. Almost no paid staff or advertising budget.
Our game plan is simple but not naive, and is most importantly a disjunct, value-add bet.
Please help us execute it well: explore, join, talk with us, donate whatever combination of time, skills, ideas and funds makes sense
