MSc in applied mathematics/theoretical ML.
Interested in increasing diversity, transparency and democracy in the EA movement. Would like to know how algorithm developers can help "neartermist" causes.
Just a reminder that I think it's the wrong choice to allow attendees to leave their name off the published list.
I downvoted and disagreevoted, though I waited until you replied to reassess.
I did so because I see absolutely no gain from doing this, I think the opportunity cost means it's net negative, and I oppose the hype around prediction markets - it seems to me like the movement is obsessed with them but practically they haven't led to any good impact.
Edit: regarding 'noticing we are surprised' - one would think this result is surprising, otherwise there'd be voices against the high amount of funding for EA conferences?
With all the scandals we've seen in the last few years, I think it should be very evident how important transparency is. See also my explanation from last year.
How is it silly? It seems perfectly acceptable, and even preferable, for people to be involved in shaping EA only if they agree for their leadership to be scrutinized.
The EA movement absolutely cannot carry on with the "let's allow people to do whatever without any hindrance, what could possibly go wrong?" approach.
