In relations to EA related content (photography, YouTubevideos, documentary, podcasts, TikTok accounts) what type of projects would you like to see more of?
I don’t have strong opinions here on form; naively I’d prefer some combination of longform work (so the entire message gets across without sacrificing nuance), popularity, and experimentation value.
In terms of content, I suspect there’s still value left in detailed and nuanced explanations of various aspects of the alignment problem, as well as distillation for the best current work on partial progress on solutions (including by some of our grantees!)
In general I expect this type of communication to be rather tail-heavy, so the specific person and their fit with the specific project to matter heavily. Ideally I think I’d want someone who
a) has experience (and preferably success) with their target type of communications,
b) who has or can easily acquire a fairly deep understanding of the relevant technical subjects (at all levels of abstraction),
c) who actually likes the work,
d) and d has some form of higher-than-usual-for-the-field integrity (so they won’t eg Goodhart on getting more people to sign up for 80k by giving unnuanced but emotionally gripping pitches).
Note that I haven’t been following the latest state-of-the-art in either pitches or distillations, so it’s possible that ideas that I think are good are already quite saturated.
