> I feel morally obligated to use what I know to improve the state of the world. This has, unfortunately, led to a lot of unemployment and serious depression.

And as you would suspect, I'm a PhD grad working in the Bay area on mas surveillance AI. Half a million dollars a year.

I honestly don't know how to invest the money anymore. Index funds are boring at this point.

I'm a little confused by the beginning of your response, because you don't appear to be the person I replied to.

When you wrote this, what did you anticipate my reaction would be?

It doesn't matter how you invest. You can't protect yourself from karma with money.
