Upvoted because someone downvoted you without explaining himself.

With all respect to Ben, there's a good chance he'd overestimate the importance of his own project so I'd be more interested to see how he thinks other projects compare with each-other.

I think that is sufficiently outweighed by the fact that the same could be said about the SIAI.

Any possibility to ask a follow-up question about what he would do with $100M?

He said he would have to do more research into it. I really don't want to bother him even more with questions right now. But you can find his e-mail on his homepage.

The fact that SIAI is just as likely to be biased is exactly why I want to hear what those outside of it think of it.

Fair enough.
