But what if the best method to save the world involves government after all? After all, government is how humans coordinate our resources toward our goals. Our current government is also working on the AI project, and there are decent odds that it will be solved by either our espionage or military research branches. Meanwhile, the individuals and groups working on the Friendly aspect of the AI project are poorly coordinated and poorly funded. Perhaps there is a way you could use your old expertise on your new goal?
Government, and markets, and religion, and persuasion, and societies, and charities, and mailing lists, and kickstarter projects, and corporations...
Name one Kickstarter project that can afford to support a hundred riflemen or a single armored fighting vehicle "just in case we need them later," and one otherwise-credible government that can't.
