As someone not too familiar with AI safety discourse… is there a $-value estimate benchmark one can use to compare “apples to apples”?
The number we have at the moment is at about $130 in DIRECT increased lifetime earnings (relative to counterfactual) per $1 donated.
If we also include spillover effects, then this increases to about $300 per $1 donated.
Again, there are many detailed assumption made to arrive at these numbers, and you are very welcome to point out which ones you believe are unreasonable!
And the purpose of our pilots and proposed RCT (later) is of course to test this in practice.
I like the idea of having an introductory AI safety lecture. We’re actually planning out the guest lectures for the introductory bootcamp right now. Would you be interested in doing 1 hour on this topic? Or if not, could you refer me to someone?
Right now we do have one lecturer talking about how one can use AI in ones work as a software web developer, as a tool. I think it would be great to also, in conjunction, have something on the safety/dangers.
I think there are other people in the community who could give a talk much better than I could, but I suppose I could give it a go if there weren’t any better options and it was during my waking hours.

Maybe ask in the AI alignment Slack? https://join.slack.com/t/ai-alignment/shared_invite/zt-1ug7qhc4h-OKXxhilyH9CQoK113L4IWg
