I'm kind of curious how do you explain why people with more proven expertise and accomplishment in relevant areas don't seem to be offering any ai risk reduction for anyone to buy yet. Quack remedies always came before cures, through the history.

This kind of question - and how much more fun people seem to have when arguing about this kind of question - would just be a distraction from the intent of the document. It is best to save the apologetics for elsewhere and give the plain information here.

Well, it's not so much of a question as of an answer to 'what to think about this specific offering of a cure'. People whom can generate that sort of question - sceptical minded people - won't donate anyway.
