Just to check… have I said any “naughty” things analogous to the Eliezer quote above?
If you attend the Summit as a volunteer, don’t expect to see many of the talks.
Hi all,
I was completely wrong on my budget estimate, I apologize. I wasn’t including the Summit, and I was just estimating the cost on my understanding of salaries + misc. expenses. I should have checked Guidestar. My view of the budget also seems to have been slightly skewed because I frequently check the SIAI Paypal account, which many people use to donate, but I never see the incoming checks, which are rarer but sometimes make up a large portion of total donations. My underestimate of money in contributing to my underestimating monies out.
Again, I’m sorry, I was not lying, just a little confused and a few years out of date on my estimate. I will search over my blog to modify any incorrect numbers I can find.
God, the people here go on and on about such a trivial issue! Sorry if I offend anyone, but really. Petty microanalysis of the type seen nowhere else on the Internet. If you don’t like the ad, don’t apply. If you don’t want to promote it, don’t. Is it really worth having a debate about whether it is worth promoting?
