I have to squint a lot to see the sense in this mapping
I am CHAOTIC Good MUAAHAHA
The design of the website is quite bad
Why do you consider it bad? Nothing jumps out to me that makes me think “this is bad/ugly”. Your other points make more sense to me though.
I’ve done a couple of half-hearted tries, and the results have been very distant from something I’d use for the channel. I should try again with more effort.
Yes, I’ve received and read the script, and the contest is still open
No winners or job offers yet, but I have still to decide on some, although I’ve read every submission. I reached out to a small minority of people with feedback when (but not every time) I thought their script could be improved easily enough to pass my bar. If you want feedback or are curious about your standing in the contest, please send an e-mail.
Yes, it is still active
Thanks :)
Cross-posting with multiple authors is broken as a feature.
When Matthew had to approve co-authorship, the post appeared on the home page, but if clicked on, it only showed an error message.
Then I moved the post to drafts, and when I interacted with it using the three dots on the right side, there was another error message.
Now Matthew doesn’t appear as a coauthor here.
Hi!
I haven’t made any announcement yet, but I’d be potentially interested in hiring people as contractors for Rational Animations in the following roles:
- Scriptwriter (also see this contest)
- Fact-checker
- Community manager
- Social Media manager
- Illustrator
If you think Rational Animations could be a good fit for some people and clears your bar for “high-impact”, I’d be happy if you sent some candidates my way. They/you can reach out at rationalanimations@gmail.com.
Also, important disclaimer: I’m not sure how fast I’ll be able to make hiring decisions, and some people may need to get a job soon. Therefore, anyone who applies shouldn’t wait for an answer from me if they need a job fast.
We have funding until at least ~ March.
I’m not sure currently, but I might increase the prize and remove the deadline.
There could be an issue since Rob Miles is the narrator. But if the story is really good and significantly benefits from using the first person, we can figure something out, like putting a disclaimer at the beginning.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I have the same concern about the fact that the expected income from participating in the contest might be small. I think the other two prizes somewhat mitigate this, but I’m not sure how people value those prizes.
I’m indeed spending a lot less on scriptwriting than on animation. This hasn’t always been true, but it is true now and will continue to be true as the team becomes larger because animation is just way costlier. That said, the proportion of the budget devoted to scriptwriting will increase again in the near future, but not drastically. More specifically, as I say in the post, I’d like to hire more scriptwriters, and, later on, I’d like to bring in at least one fact-checker.
For now, I’ll leave the prizes unchanged. I’ll wait at least a couple of weeks to see how the contest goes. Depending on how many scripts I’m getting and their quality, I might decide to change the prizes.
Hey, thanks for the feedback here.
Regarding Rob Miles’ audio: is there anything more specific you have to say about it? I want to improve the audio aspect of the videos, but the last one seemed better than usual to me on that front. If you could pinpoint any specific thing that seemed off, that would be helpful to me.
Several EA organizations are working together with a communications advising firm to answer questions like
Who are key audiences we especially want to reach?
How do these audiences currently see EA?
What are the best ways to reach these audiences?
What EA ideas are especially important to convey?
I hope EA orgs end up sharing their new best guesses regarding these questions with the broader community, or at least reach out to smaller and newer organizations dedicated to outreach so that they can scale their outreach in a good direction and self-correct more easily.
I confirm that this resolved. Thanks for the e-mail response!
We try to avoid processes that take months and leave grantees unclear on when they’re going to reach a decision.”
It’s true that we made decisions on the vast majority of proposals on roughly this timeline, and then some of the more complicated / expensive proposals took more time (and got indications from us about when they were supposed to hear back next).
The indication I got said that FTX would reach out “within two weeks”, which meant by April 20. I haven’t heard back since, though. I reached out eight days ago to ensure that my application or relevant e-mails haven’t been lost, but I haven’t received an answer. :((I get that this is probably not on purpose, and that grant decisions take as long as they need to, but if I see an explicit policy of “we are going to reach out even if we haven’t made a decision yet” then I’m left wondering if something has broken down somewhere and about what to do. It seems a good choice to try to reach out myself… and comment under this thread to provide a data point.)
Thanks! I’m curious if there’s a particular aspect of the video that you found particularly good and if you found it significantly better than the other videos on Rational Animations (if you have watched them).
I’m trying to understand what made this particular video more appreciated than the other ones.
In my understanding, EigenKarma only creates bubbles if it also acts as a default content filter. If, for example, it is just displayed near usernames, it shouldn’t have this effect but would still retain its use as a signal of trustworthiness.
Also, sometimes creating a bubble—a protected space—is exactly what you want to achieve, so it might be the correct tool to use in specific contexts.
It’s the first time I read about this, so please correct me if I’m misunderstanding.
Personally, I find the idea very interesting.
