I don’t think I feel strongly either way, but why is this something that should posted on the EA Forum ? I don’t think its obvious/clear how someone should view this other than just random AI-industry news ?
Hi @joey and @MCF—just wanted to point out that on more than one occasion when I’ve been reviewing someone’s grant proposal, they thought “clear passes” in the “what do we mean by meta?” section meant something like “things we’d pass on funding”/”things we wouldn’t consider funding” rather than “things which pass our test for fundability/things we defs want to fund”. Maybe not a huge issue but probably worth making a small edit for clarity.
Thanks !
maybe a dumb question, but why do you (feel the need to) reward your LLM ?
I’ve shared this with the Muslims for EA group
Glad that this exists—I was worried about the lack of fiscal sponsors/ops-support orgs available in the EA ecosystem post-FTX crash.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but: why are two of the three people working on this project (Sparkwell) also working on a different but very similar project (ImpactOps)? (e.g. why would someone approach one org over another?). Thanks
Vote power should scale with karma

I’m thinking of writing a longer/ more nuanced collaborative piece discussing global vs local EA community building that I touched on in a previous post.
What do you mean by “HEA”?
Here’s a squiggle AI model for the estimate
This is so cool ! I’m using it to improve the BOTECs and cost-effectiveness estimates in my research into effective zakat, and islamic FAW interventions
I think so
I would REALLY appreciate if someone quite good at math (especially distributions/graphs) could hop on (what I expect would be a short call) to help me sort out an issue I’m panicking overEDIT: I’m no longer panicking, thank you to everyone who reached out !
Thank you !
Thanks :)
It looks and sounds like the event was a great success ! Im really happy about that :)
Could you provide some more info about the applicants and the admissions process/decisions? e.g.:
how many attendees had you planned on admitting ?
if you had more budget, would you have admitted more attendees?
were all 170 attendees of the quality that you’d have hoped for, or was there some relaxation of admission criteria passed a certain number of admissions?
were you surprised at how many applicants there were?
Do you have a sense of what the general applicant pool was like ? e.g. how many applicants were very familiar with EA vs new to EA? ; where did applicants hear about the event? ; were there any notable characteristics shared by a majority of applicants ? etc.
Haven’t read the full report but I would hazard to guess that they’re using the word long-termism to mean something quite different to what we think about when we talk about longtermism.
It’s very common for people to ask for (and receive) feedback on drafts. Search “Feedback” and you’ll find examples of how people have done that, and you should be fine
Idk how to make the right people at CEA see this but: I thought the theme/header at the top of the forum during Giving Season has been unbelievably good-looking ! The orange, the yellow, the images ! Would be kinda sick for it to have something like that all the time
