By now, I have had the chance to meet most staff at Sentient Futures, and I think they really capture the best that EA has to offer, both in terms of their organisational goals and culture.
They are kind, compassionate, impartial, frugal—the things that I feel like the movement compromised on in the past years in pursuit of trying to save us from AI.
I really hope this kind of culture becomes more prominent in the 4th wave of EA[1], with similar organisations popping up in the coming months and years.
PS.: I have friends at the org, so this obviously makes me biased:)

3rd wave described here in Ben West’s post. If you go with this one, then what I’m describing would be the 5th wave.
