I mean more that it seems that his views line up a lot closer to MIRI/FHI than most AI researchers. Hell, his views are closer to MIRI's than Thiel's are at this point.

How much money do they need to solve "friendly AI" within 5-10 years?

Good question. I'd like to see what they could do with 10x what they have now, for a start.

If what MIRI imagines will happen in at most 10 years then I strongly doubt that throwing money at MIRI will make a difference.

I don't even think many of those at MIRI think that they would have much chance if they were only given 10 years, so you're in good company there.
