saving children and birds

Not this

research work

A respectable academic setting doesn't seem optimal for getting work done

advocacy

Not necessarily this, though why does advocacy suck, in your opinion?

You could always publish impressive but unusable papers if you really wanted to.. Alternatively, if you have good AGI insights, just use them to help you find small improvements in current AGI research to keep people off your back. More overhead, but still, you're getting paid to do whatever you like with part of your time.. not bad.
