I quit my job recently to work on AGI.

I have some unique insights that I wanted to put into practice. The past month has been the most intellectually stimulating, challenging, and rewarding period my life. Some interesting utility has already appeared. I won’t discuss the details but I will say it does not involve statistical learning.

And don’t worry, I’ve read Bostrom :)

That sounds pretty fascinating. I wonder though, with all the dangers inherent in AGI, what makes it still personally worthwhile to work on for you?
> I have some unique insights

Could you elaborate more?

I wish I could, but it is proprietary for now.
