I’ve been experimenting recently with a longtermist wiki, written fully with LLMs.
Some key decisions/properties: 1. Fully LLM-generated, heavily relying on Claude Code. 2. Somewhat opinionated. Tries to represent something of a median longtermist/EA longview, with a focus on the implications of AI. All pages are rated for “importance”. 3. Claude will estimates a lot of percentages and letter grades for things. If you see a percentage or grade, and there’s no citation, it might well be a guess by Claude. 4. An emphasis on numeric estimates, models, and diagrams. I had it generate many related models to different topics, some are better than others. Might later take the best ones and convert to Squiggle models or similar. 5. Still early & experimental. This is a bit in-between an official wiki and a personal project of interest now. I expect that things will become more stable over time. For now, expect pages to change locations, and terminology to be sometimes inconsistent, etc.
I overall think this space is pretty exciting right now, but it definitely brings challenges and requires cleverness.
There’s also a bunch of information on specific aspects of AI Safety, different EA organizations, and a lot more stuff.
It costs about $3-6 to add a basic page, maybe $10-$30 to do a nicer page. I could easily picture wanting even better later on. Happy to accept requests to add pages for certain organizations/projects/topics/etc that people here might be interested!
Also looking for other kinds of feedback!
I should also flag that one way to use it is through another LLM. Like, ask your local language model to help go through the wiki content for you and summarize the parts of interest.
I plan to write a larger announcement of this on the Forum later.

Recently I’ve been working on some pages about Anthropic and the OpenAI Foundation’s potentials for impact.
For example, see:
