We did this before, it was called "Lifeboat", they took a bunch of money from Jeffrey Esptein and people started pretending they hadn't been affiliated or whatever when they started throwing sex traffickers into cells.
I am tired of people creating precarity then showing up to solve it after years of running roughshod over this planet.
"AI" is often papering over bad datasets -- you don't have the data to do so much as a student's t test, but you cater to people who only listen when they hear a "yes" after many many times being told how stuff works.
[0] "The Lifeboat Foundation is a nonprofit nongovernmental organization dedicated to encouraging scientific advancements while helping humanity survive existential risks and possible misuse of increasingly powerful technologies, including genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics/AI, as we move towards the Singularity. Lifeboat Foundation is pursuing a variety of options, including helping to accelerate the development of technologies to defend humanity, including new methods to combat viruses (such as RNA interference and new vaccine methods), effective nanotechnological defensive strategies, and even self-sustaining space colonies in case the other defensive strategies fail. We believe that, in some situations, it might be feasible to relinquish technological capacity in the public interest (for example, we are against the U.S. government posting the recipe for the 1918 flu virus on the internet). We have some of the best minds on the planet working on programs to enable our survival. We invite you to join our cause! The Lifeboat Foundation now has the world’s first bitcoin endowment fund"

[1] "Jeffrey Epstein is a financier and science philanthropist. He is the Chairman and CEO of the Financial Trust Company and the founder of the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation. Jeffrey is a former member of the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, the New York Academy of Science, and a former Rockefeller University board member. He is actively involved in the Santa Fe Institute, the Theoretical Biology Initiative at the Institute for Advanced Study, the Quantum Gravity Program at the University of Pennsylvania, and once sat on the Mind, Brain, and Behavior Advisory Committee at Harvard University. He is also a member of the Edge Foundation. Jeffrey established the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation in 2000 to support cutting edge science and medical research around the world. In 2003, the foundation established the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard University with a $35 million gift. The Program is directed by Martin Nowak, Professor of Biology and Mathematics at Harvard. The Program studies the evolution of micro-biology through the lense of mathematics. Since its establishment, the Program has made pivotal advances in the treatment of cancer, HIV, and numerous infectious diseases. The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation is based out of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands and plays an increasingly active role in supporting youth and early education programs across the US Virgin Islands and the United States."
