I guess, but you also can't invest it in specific things.

I don't know.

I might change my mind in the future and can restart it.

And I've been contributing for a few years now.

Yeah.

The thing that most readily comes to mind is the MATS program for AI research.

And this seems like it's just been incredibly successful at giving people the time, the funding, and the...

like social status justification to do AI safety relevant research with mentors.

We have the Anthropic Fellows Program.

Yeah, I mean, there have been multiple people who Anthropic and other labs have hired out of this program.

Yeah, yeah.

So I think the return on investment for it has been massive.

And yeah, apparently the fellows, I think there are 20 of them, are like really good.

I think it's gotten much better with time where the early fellows...

Some of them did good work and got good jobs.

And so then now later fellows, like the quality bar has just risen and risen and risen.

And there are even better mentors now than before.

So it's this really cool flywheel effect.

But originally it was just people who like didn't have the funding or time to like make a name for themselves or do ambitious work.

So it was kind of like giving them that niche to do it.
