lol, Oliver Habryka at Lightcone is sending out begging emails, i found it in my spam folder

declared Lightcone Enemy #1 thanks you for your attention in sending me this missive, Mr Habryka

In 2024, FTX sued us to claw back their donations, and around the same time Open Philanthropy’s biggest donor asked them to exit our funding area. We almost went bankrupt.

no no that’s fine thanks

We need to raise $2M this year to continue our operations without major cuts, and at least $1.4M to avoid shutting down. We have so far raised ~$720k.

and you can’t tap into moskovitz? wow sucks dude. guess you’re just not that effective as altruism goes

And to everyone who donated last year: Thank you so much. I do think humanity’s future would be in a non-trivially worse position if we had shut down.

in fashtech, promises of future glory always beat present day actually fucking working

anyway free software stallman was right peace out

oh yeah, Suno does the same, it has about 12 songs
