You think you can have incredibly useful ideas without having powers to develop anything, while the fact is that the power to have useful ideas stems directly from the power to build those ideas bottom up.

If I understand this article correctly, it is exactly about SIAI trying to attract the people with powers to develop and analyze FAI.

I think the best recommendation for those with money would be to hold on and not give them to SI, so that SI would not put incompetent ideas ahead and waste people time.

That seems like a negative self-fulfilling prophecy -- don't give money to SIAI; SIAI can't pay developers; SIAI doesn't develop anything; say: "I told you".

SI had money enough to do far more than it did. To give money to SI is same as to give money to an organization that would buy coal and just burn it - the SI would put money into wasting R&D effort on ideas of incompetent.
