Synergy or win-win between my work and the project i.e. if the project dovetails with what I am doing (or has a better approach). This would require some overlap between the project's architecture and mine. This would also require a clear vision and explicit 'clues' about deliverables/modules (i.e. both code and ideas). I would have to be able to use these (code, idea) *completely* freely as I would deem fit, and would, in return, happily exchange the portions of my work that are relevant to the project. Basically I agree with what the others wrote below - especially Ben. Except I would not work for a company that would aim to retain (exclusive or long-term) commercial rights to AGI design (and thus become rulers of the world :) nor would I accept funding from any source that aims to adopt AGI research outcomes for military purposes. Oh and yes, I'd like to be wealthy (definitely *not* rich and most definitely not famous - see the recent singularity discussion for a rationale on that one) but I already have the things I really need (not having to work for a regular income *would* be nice, tho) = Jean-Paul

The main use of being rich is if it helps to more effectively launch a positive Singularity, from my view... Eliezer wrote: Clues.
