Re: Interview with Michael Taft

Dear Jeffrey,

I hope this finds you well!

Michael Taft just released the interview he did with me in San Francisco, and I think he did a great job:

(There are also a few things elsewhere that came online recently, like a keynote lecture at the NIA! conference:
https://slideslive.com/38909848/consciousness-in-humans-and-other-machines a conversation with Nikola Danaylov at the Singularity Weblog:
https://www.singularityweblog.com/joscha-bach/, a lecture I gave at a symposium about "Humanity's future in the age of Al" at Arizona State University: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OheY9DIUie4, and some small papers.)

I am going to travel to San Francisco next weekend to scout schools and places to live, and sit down with the team at Al Foundation to plan the next steps. They are going to sponsor the update of the O1 and the greencard.

Could you please ask Rich if we can start doing the taxes for this year in the coming week? He's been telling me that we should do it for a few months now, but I don't seem to get a hold of him, since he is a very busy man.

As always, thank you so much!
Sincerely yours,

Joscha

your taxes are not due until april. why are you stressed .

Rich told me that I should already pay estimated taxes when I receive income. He wanted to bring this year's taxes in order for a few months already for that reason.

But more importantly, not all money was relayed via Humanity Plus (some came directly from Gratitude America), which probably creates problems with the O visa (I can only receive grants via the organization sponsoring the visa), which means that we may have to figure out a solution before the year is over.
