It's more important than ever that PauseAI is funded. Pretty much the only way we're going to survive the next 5-10 years is by such efforts being successful to the point of getting a global moratorium on further AGI/ASI development. There's no point being rich when the world ends. I encourage others with 7 figures or more of net worth to donate similar amounts. And I'm disappointed that all the big funders in the AI Safety space are still overwhelmingly focused on Alignment/Safety/Control when it seems pretty clear that those aren't going to save us in time (if ever), given the lack of even theoretical progress, let alone practical implementation.
Note that this is to be considered general funding to PauseAI Global, maxing out the volunteer stipends fundraiser and funding additional hires (from OP: "If we surpass our goal, we will use that money to fund additional hires for PauseAI Global (e.g. a Social Media Director).")
