"You may not be able to become a seed AI programmer. In fact, it is
extremely likely that you can't. This should not break your heart."
"Meanwhile, before the Singularity, consider becoming a regular donor
instead. It will be a lot less stressful, and right now we have many fewer
regular donors than people who have wandered up and expressed an interest in
being seed AI programmers. "
"No one who might actually be hired will be scared off by the thought of an
extremely difficult job or harsh competition. If someone is brilliant enough
to have any realistic chance of becoming an AI programmer, and ethical
enough to be accepted, nothing we could possibly say would scare them away
from applying"
