SUPPORT THE MISSION

Donate to the Nakada Foundation, Fund the fight to keep
humanity in control.

A binding international AI safety treaty will not be handed to us. It has to be argued for, organized for, and paid for. Our independence depends entirely on people like you.

WHY GIVE HERE

The case in four steps.

If you want a donation to do as much good as a donation can.

1

Give where it does the most good.

The point of a gift is its effect, and a dollar's effect is not the same everywhere. So the honest question is whether this is the best available use of the next dollar. Take that question seriously and everything else follows from it.

2

The most good is measured across all of humanity.

The highest-impact causes are the ones that reach everyone, and everyone who comes after. A threat to the entire human future outweighs any bounded problem, because what it puts at stake is not one generation but every generation that could ever follow.

3

Superintelligence is the largest such threat, by an order of magnitude.

Of the technologies that could end humanity, artificial superintelligence sits at the top. By the best structured estimates available, it carries something on the order of a hundred times the extinction risk of nuclear war, and it is the only one that improves itself and acts against every countermeasure we raise.

4

The neglected piece is political, and it is all we do.

Technical safety research already commands the field's money and its best minds, and still no one can control a system far smarter than us. The underfunded work is the other kind: the binding, verified international agreement that prevents superintelligence from being built until it can be made safe. We are narrowly focused on that one thing, not on the research that already exists.

Your gift funds the political fight.

The most impactful thing you can fund is preventing superintelligence, and the most neglected part of that is the political fight to make it law. That is exactly where your gift goes, and why a dollar here is, dollar for dollar, among the highest-impact gifts you can make.

THE FIELD

See what your gift is up against.

This is a live cut of our field directory: every major actor sorted by trajectory. Prevent. Govern. Build.

The left column is the hard stop. Right now it holds only 7 standing organizations under a strict bar. The rest of the field manages the race or runs it. Most of the money and prestige still go to making the race safer, not to ending the race to ASI. Your gift grows the thin side.

WHAT YOU FUND

Exactly where the money goes.

Gifts cover what it costs to run the programs below.

Full-time X: reply to the race

We need funding as soon as possible for a full-time person who replies on X whenever the ASI race, the Singularity, or superintelligence is the pitch. Race slogans land every hour with no careful counter in the thread. X is where lawmakers, journalists, and lab leaders actually read. One reply can reach millions of impressions. Your money pays for an X Organization account and the wages of the person writing and replying every day. Measurable output: impressions and reach on replies and original posts (public analytics once the account is live).

A post on X claiming superintelligence will end social mobility and begin a new feudalism. A post on X claiming superintelligence will end social mobility and begin a new feudalism.
This is the permanent-underclass myth: the rich buy compute, you stay down. That only holds if humans are still alive to stay down.

Original creative content for a lay audience

Short and long form writing, images, infographics, and video: original work about superintelligence made so a non-specialist can follow it in one sitting. Made once, then pushed across every platform we can reach. The work is creative, and it meets people where they already are: explainers, essays, visuals, and film-adjacent storytelling that make the stakes legible without a technical background. Your money pays for the people who make the original work, verified social accounts, and the tools that distribute it so hours go into the argument rather than the posting queue. Measurable output: views and watch time on original pieces.

Ghibli-style anime

The voting public does not read papers. Or watch dry academic videos. We will produce Ghibli-style anime that is entertaining, shareable, and informative. Your money pays for the people who make those films and for getting them seen. Measurable output: views, watch time, and shares.

Ghibli-style still of three riveted submarines in deep water, with light from the surface.

Content has to keep up with the race.

We have already begun finding people who can do this work. One lesson came quickly: a single video has taken months to finish. That is too slow. The race keeps moving while a film sits in the queue. A video should not take months. Money here pays to put more of those people on the work at once. Measurable output: time from start to publish on original pieces.

Sponsor the channels people already open

Plus paid placement where opinion actually forms. Sponsor specialized newsletters that lawmakers and their staff already open. Sponsor podcasts those same people listen to on the drive in. Sponsor content creators with real audiences. People form their views from creators. Who is posting about ASI as an existential risk today: almost nobody with reach. That is like living through the Cold War while almost no one with a microphone talks about preventing nuclear war. Filling that silence is the cheap way to make the threat legible before a treaty vote is even scheduled, not vanity. Your money pays for creator and newsletter sponsorships, podcast underwriting. Measurable output: placement reach where we sponsor distribution.

Move money off “align the god.”

A lot of philanthropy still goes to alignment: technical research aimed at making future superintelligence go well. Name what “solve alignment” would actually mean. It means reliably controlling something far more intelligent than we are. It is in the name: superintelligence. Betting the species on controlling a mind smarter than every human who built it is a dumb plan, and on the evidence we have, an impossible one. The ambitious use of donor money is paid staff whose job is to meet grantmakers and advisors, make the case to redirect scarce safety capital toward treaty, verification, and public pressure, and do that work in the rooms where the money is already pledged. Not another paper in that pile. Narrow-system safety that can actually be controlled still deserves funding. Research that assumes we will build a successor species and then leash it does not. Leaders in effective altruism once redirected philanthropy toward malaria nets by making this kind of case. If we take the same route on superintelligence, we will say so before we ask for the extra dollars.
