  From the website:

  We reverse the usual grant-giving process: we seek out top researchers and offer them grants to run lifespan studies of the most promising drugs.

  Is anyone doing something analogous for AI safety? I.e., contacting academics and asking (paying) them to do AI safety.

  Should I sign up for cryonics ASAP?

  Background: 23 y/​o male in NYC. No known pre-existing health conditions. Mild → moderate interest in cryonics; in a world without ncov, etc. would probably have a 30-60% chance of signing up.
