Some people are pretending to doubt this, but e.g. the entire nonprofit AI safety ecosystem runs on much less than $1B/yr, whereas annual expenditures for just three leading AI companies (MSFT, GOOG, META) is >$450B/yr.

@lukeprog Yeah but the relevant number is money spent lobbying right? @grok How much is spent annually in total on AI safety policy and lobbying (e.g. from OpenPhil and others) versus government lobbying by FAANG companies and OpenAI/Anthropic/xAI?

@lukeprog Yep, that's why we mostly share safe AI unicorn startup ideas - we use human greed to literally save worlds
