EA needs more communications projects.

Unfortunately, the EA Communications Fellowship and the EA Blog prize shut down, likely due to the collapse of FTX. Any new project needs to be adapted to the new funding environment.

If someone wanted to start something in this vein, what I'd suggest would be something along the lines of AI Safety Camp. People would apply with a project to be project leads and then folk could apply to these projects. Projects would likely run over a few months, part-time. Despite the name, AI Safety Camp is now remote.

Something like this would be relatively cheap as it would be possible for someone to run this on a volunteer basis, but there might be a need for a paid organiser at a certain point.

You could also add:

"Negotiate safety conditions as part of a settlement"

Thank you for all your hard work.

Moderating when the whole FTX thing went down must have been incredibly stressful!

Best of luck in your role with Foresight, hopefully you find that kind of work is a good fit!

Interesting. I still think it could be valuable even with relatively few clicks. You might only even need someone to click on it once.

Sadly not. Would love to see someone start a project to fix this though!

I'd love to see the EA forum add a section titled "Get Involved" or something similar.

There is the groups directory, but it's one of only many ways that folks can get more involved, from EAGx Conferences, to Virtual Programs, 80,000 Hours content/courses to donating.

I'd provide an option for figures to opt out of being included in this site.

I suspect that many people in the community would be both happier and more impactful if they decided to only work four days a week and spent the fifth day doing high-impact volunteering. One nice advantage of this system is that if you're feeling particularly run down or overwhelmed, it's easier for you to take a day off that week.

My claim about both happier and more impactful might not apply to folk right at the top of the income distribution, but I expect that it would apply to most folk here.

Props for running an experiment. I'll be interested to see what the results are.

We seem to be boiling the frog, however I'm optimistic (perhaps naively) that GPT voice mode may wake some people up. "Just a chatbot" doesn't carry quite the same weight when it's actually speaking to you.
