Reading posts like "This might be the last AI Safety Camp" makes me feel very sad. The degree to which AI Safety is currently funding-constrained is clearly inadequate on the national and civilisational levels.
Maybe let's try to make a smart counter-move and accelerate the development of for-profit AI Safety projects (see also the comments to that post, and this post)? With the obvious idea to pull some VC money, which is a different pool than AI safety philanthropic funds.

More?
P.S. I'm not a professional organiser or community builder, nor a startup accelerator program manager, so just floating the idea, but I'd be very eager to participate if something like this is organised.
For profit means investors expect to extract money from the organization. It doesn't mean that the organization has enough income to be self sustaining, and in fact increases the pressure to make income at the expense of any main mission.
