Hi there, thanks for bringing this up. There are a few ways we're planning to reduce the risk of us incubating orgs that end up fast-tracking capabilities research over safety research.
Firstly, we want to select for a strong impact focus & value-alignment in participants.
Secondly, we want to assist the founders to set up their organization in a way that limits the potential for value drift (e.g. a charter for the forming organization that would legally make this more difficult, choosing the right legal structure, and helping them with vetting or suggestions for who you can best take on as an investor or board member)
If you have additional ideas around this we'd be happy to hear them.
To share some anecdotal data: I personally have had positive experiences doing regular coaching calls with Kat this year and feel that her input has been very helpful.
I would encourage us all to put off updating until we also get the second side of the story - that generally seems like good practice to me whenever it is possible.
