I like this. Building on your idea with the yellow colour code, I think it would be good to have functionality to mark typos, with the option of providing a revision suggestion that the author can press accept or reject on. Similar to how edit suggestions work in Google Docs.

To celebrate the launch of AI Safety Melbourne, come have a free dinner (and cake!) at Gopals and meet other like-minded people. Invite your friends!
Anyone interested in AI safety is welcome, no experience required, and regardless of whether you want to pursue a career in this area or not. Even if you don’t know what AI safety is but would like to find out, come along! This is just a friendly space for people to chat, learn from each other, discuss ideas, share tips and opportunities, have fun, make connections, and create a community so we can support each other. Share this event with any friends or groups who you think would be interested.
We have funding for the event, so when you arrive come up to Level 2 to find me (Ethan EJ Watkins) so that I can pay for your meal. (I’ll have a sign so that you can spot me easily.)
After Gopals closes at 8pm we’ll walk to Charles Dickens Tavern (Block Arcade, 290 Collins Street) to continue chatting.
Join our AI Safety Melbourne facebook group to hear about our future events and keep in touch with people you meet:

Regarding the prerequisites (differential calculus, linear algebra or statistics, programming) do you have any recommended resources for people who have studied these but are a bit rusty and want to revise the content before MLSS? Or a list of concepts or tasks that participants can use to check whether their understanding is at the required level? (e.g. “If you know the concepts X, Y and Z in linear algebra, and can write a program to solve task A and B, then you probably have enough background for MLSS.”)
According the numbers quoted (“~45 years, ~$50k income, ~$4,500 per life saved”), isn’t it more like 50 lives rather than 100? In the linked GWWC article then it says $2,300 per life saved, not $4,500. I don’t know which figure is correct, but it makes a difference by a factor of ~2.
