the vision here is amazing, but I can't help but feel a bit uncertain about basing a "safe super intelligence" lab in an apartheid state that is currently genociding its indigenous population using variants of the very same technology

Right, true safe super intelligence could only be developed in countries that finished genociding their indigenous populations centuries ago.

Maybe it takes a nation (tragically) built on genocide and slavery to be able to recognize (and thus prevent) the same in an AI.

And Nazis were destined to build safe atomic bomb.

But basing it in US who launched the Afghanistan and Iraq wars is safe?

Well, yes¹: if it actually contributes to intelligent action, this is exactly the goal - you nailed it. Safer, more sensible action for individuals, communities, and statal entities. "Less mistakes in the future" - that would be a good motto.

(¹: whether basing a [successful in substance] "safe super intelligence" lab in an environment with imperfect record would improve safety.)

Do you have any advice for Canadian founders who's TN grace period has ended and are leaving the US to immediately return as a visitor? I'm not paying myself yet, so no employee contract/job offer. Will the border officers be upset at the fact that I'm returning as a visitor right after the TN grace period has ended? Any documents I could prepare to make it easier? Thanks!
