Hi folks! Thank you so much for the warm reception this post has received so far. I’m actively trying to improve my EA-aligned research and writing skills, so I would really appreciate any constructive feedback you might be willing to send as a comment or a private message. (Negative feedback is especially appreciated.) If you are worried about wording criticism in a diplomatic way, Linch (my supervisor) has also offered to perform the role of a middleman.
Of course, we would also appreciate being informed if any of the proposed research ideas actually change your decisions (e.g. if you end up writing a paper or thesis based on an idea listed here). (And I would be really curious to see where that goes.)
Hi folks, I want to second Lizka in saying that if you have any feedback, feel free to do any of: comment here, PM me on this site or email me at linch@rethinkpriorities.org.
I’m especially excited for people to point out empirical or conceptual errors here, as the person at fault for all mistakes in this post. :)

On a different note, there are additional posts that I would have linked to this one if I had published later. In particular, the Vignettes Workshop (AI Impacts) , Why EAs researching mainstream topics can be useful (note: Michael and I both work at Rethink Priorities), this post about a game on animal welfare that just came out (I haven’t tried the game), and this question about the language Matsés and signaling epistemic certainty .
