I don’t remember seeing it back then. I too am a pretty good programmer (and not businessman at all) - I write code for a living.
I’d seriously consider joining such a project. What’s the general idea? Is there anything we could code that would reduce X-risk in itself, or would we be coding strictly for money to contribute to anti-X-risk causes?
I don’t care about x-risks at all. If we ever make any money, I’ll spend my share on having fun and helping my friends/relatives. Others may spend their shares on charity, x-risk, SIAI, makes no difference to me. The idea is just that LW is full of smart and moral people, so banding together to make some money looks like the logical thing to do.

I’m totally in support of that. So, any other takers?
If you don’t mind, count me in. PM’d email to cousin_it. Primary skill: programmer.
What’s your email address? I think the sensible thing for me to do right now is to email Alexandros, Jack, and you. I already know their addresses.
EDIT: never mind, found it.
