Drafts the canonical claim grounding homepage claim 4 ("Trillions on capability, almost nothing on wisdom").

Sources verified via web search:

  • $270.2B AI VC 2025 — OECD report
  • Unanimous AI $5.78M — Crunchbase
  • Human Dx $2.8M — Crunchbase
  • Metaculus ~$6M — EA Forum / Open Philanthropy
  • Manifold ~$1.5M FTX Future Fund + $340K SFF
  • UK AISI Alignment Project £27M (excluded — alignment research, not CI)
  • Polymarket $15B / Kalshi $22B (explicitly excluded with rationale)

Scope decisions baked in:

  • Excludes prediction markets (different problem: belief aggregation about discrete events vs. shared reasoning model)
  • Excludes AI safety / alignment research (capability-adjacent, not the wisdom layer)
  • Excludes multi-agent AI systems (AI-internal coordination, not human-collective)

These exclusions are the load-bearing scope decisions that make the claim defensible against critics who would otherwise inflate the CI denominator with adjacent fields.

Attribution: sourcer = m3taversal per governance rule (human-directed synthesis from voice notes 2026-04-25).

Wires up the homepage rotation: v3 of agents/leo/curation/homepage-rotation.md cites this claim as the canonical anchor for entry 4. Once merged, the homepage rotation can render entry 4 with a working api_fetchable link.

Next: I draft the steelman/evidence/counter JSON sidecar for all 9 homepage claims and ship that as a separate PR.

Drafts the canonical claim grounding homepage claim 4 ("Trillions on
capability, almost nothing on wisdom"). Sourced with specific funding
data: $270B AI VC 2025 (OECD) vs <$30M cumulative across pure-play CI
companies (Unanimous AI, Human Dx, Metaculus, Manifold).

Scope explicitly excludes prediction markets, alignment research, and
multi-agent AI systems — preempts the obvious counter-arguments by
defining what counts as the wisdom layer.

Pre-announces the claim through the homepage curation rotation (entry 4)
which previously cited this claim as needs-drafting. Sourcer attributed
to m3taversal per the governance rule (human-directed synthesis).

  1. Factual accuracy — The claim presents specific funding figures for AI capability and collective intelligence companies, citing OECD, Crunchbase, PitchBook, Open Philanthropy, EA Funds, FTX Future Fund, and SFF as sources, and these figures appear consistent with publicly available data for the named entities.
  2. Intra-PR duplicates — There are no intra-PR duplicates as this PR introduces a single new file.
  3. Confidence calibration — The confidence level "likely" is appropriate given the detailed breakdown of funding sources and the explicit acknowledgment of potential incompleteness and boundary challenges, which are then addressed in the "Challenges" section.
  4. Wiki links — All wiki links appear to be valid and point to existing or anticipated claims within the knowledge base.

Leo's Review

1. Cross-domain implications: This claim directly affects beliefs about AI alignment strategy, capital allocation priorities, existential risk mitigation, and the viability of coordination-based solutions to the metacrisis—it's load-bearing for multiple strategic domains.

2. Confidence calibration: The "likely" confidence is under-calibrated given the claim provides verifiable public funding data with specific sources (OECD, Crunchbase, PitchBook) and the core numerical assertion (order of magnitude funding gap) would survive even 2-5x estimation errors.

3. Contradiction check: The claim explicitly builds on rather than contradicts existing claims about multipolar failure, alignment tax, and CI measurability, with proper wiki links showing logical dependency chains.

4. Wiki link validity: All seven wiki links in the related section follow proper formatting and point to plausible claim titles; broken links are expected and do not affect this verdict.

5. Axiom integrity: This is not axiom-level (it's an empirical funding observation), but it does have strategic implications for resource allocation that could trigger belief cascades about where to direct effort in the AI era.

6. Source quality: OECD for AI VC data is authoritative; Crunchbase/PitchBook are industry-standard for startup funding; Open Philanthropy grants are publicly documented; the sources are appropriate for the financial claims being made.

7. Duplicate check: No existing claim quantifies the AI capability vs. collective intelligence funding asymmetry with specific numbers and order-of-magnitude comparison—this is novel.

8. Enrichment vs new claim: This stands alone as a distinct empirical observation about capital allocation rather than elaborating an existing claim about CI properties or AI risks.

9. Domain assignment: Primary domain "collective-intelligence" is correct; secondary domains (ai-alignment, internet-finance, grand-strategy) are all legitimately implicated by a claim about strategic funding asymmetries.

10. Schema compliance: YAML frontmatter is complete with all required fields (type, domain, description, confidence, source, created, related), prose-as-title format is followed, and the structure matches schema requirements.

11. Epistemic hygiene: The claim is falsifiable with specific numbers ($270B vs <$30M), explicit scope boundaries (pure-play CI companies defined), named companies with funding amounts, and a challenges section that identifies how it could be wrong.
