Yes. Considering how hard SIAI is trying to get taken seriously by the mainstream academic community, you'd think that they would already be doing this.
Simply put, we don't have anyone who can except Carl Shulman and myself. I'm busy writing a book. I think Carl actually is doing papers but I'm not sure this is his highest-priority subject.
It might be that hiring a real professor to supervise would enable us to get this sort of work out of a postdoc going through the Visiting Fellows program, but that itself is not easy.
