Thanks for taking the time to share your learnings – it is really encouraging to see User-Friendly find a market for this type of work in the EA space. I think that you’re adding a hugely valuable resource to the ecosystem, so keep doing what you’re doing!
I hope not to cause concern; of course I do not wish to ‘philosophise’ my family into submission, but I simply wish to make the case that my interest in Superintelligence is not misaligned with their values. Of course if you disagree with this I would like to know why?
Alex – thanks for sharing these, I think they’re brilliant visualisations. I have a bunch of my own to offer… perhaps they ought to live in a shared space!
I was thinking of publishing a bunch of infographics I’ve produced in the last year or two with Creative Commons licenses (with permission from whoever commissioned the images). But I was unsure whether this would be useful for folks. An MVP might be to collect our combined works together on a site.
