We’ve had some experience working with volunteers. In the past, when we had less operational support than we do now, we found it challenging to manage and monitor volunteers but we think it’s something that we’re better placed to handle now so may explore again in the coming years, though we are generally hesitant about depending on free labor.
We’ve not really had experience publicly outsourcing questions to the EA community, but we regularly consult wider EA communities for input on questions we are working on. Finally, and I’m not sure this is what you meant, but we’ve also partnered with Metaculus on some forecasting questions.
Hey Edo, thanks for the question!
