Eliezer's investment into OB/LW apparently hasn't returned even a single full-time FAI researcher for SIAI after several years (although a few people are almost certainly doing more and better FAI-related research than if the Sequences didn't happen). Has this met SIAI's initial expectations? Do you guys think we're at the beginning of a snowball effect, or has OB/LW pretty much done as much as it can, as far as creating/recruiting FAI researchers is concerned? What are your current expectations for the book in this regard?
I have informally been probing smart people I meet whether they're aware of LW. The answers have been surprisingly high number of 'Yes'. I expect this is already making impact on, at the very least, a less risky distribution of funding sources, and probably a good increase in funding once some of them (as many are in startups) will hit paydirt.
