Let's say HYPOTHETICALLY I talked to a donor and HYPOTHETICALLY they want to donate $1M toward slowing down AGI development. What are some plans that beat "pay AGI developers money to not be AGI developers and publicize it"? Especially looking for things I can do like right now

Marriage means considering another person's welfare when making decisions. If that's going to be a problem, then you don't get married.

I bet the difference between the researcher and the terrorist is that the terrorists believed in something greater than themselves that they didn't create themselves. That's the potential stumbling block.
