What we need at this point is funding. We would like to be able to bring
on 4 or more new researchers within the next 6 months. If anyone here has
the capability to begin a sustained series of long term donations, or if
anyone here knows someone who could, then we would definitely urge you to
think seriously about working to get some funding sent our way. I agree
that recent events show that the sooner we can achieve a safe Singularity,
the better.
