Where regrantors give

“I asked Forethought to apply. I think Forethought does great work, and am happy to support it. Theory of change : I largely view Forethought's theory of change as doing high-level strategic thinking about what should be done in the world, g…”

“Forethought’s work has been some of the biggest influence on my safety research work, raising several new areas of research I and some of my collaborators hadn’t previously considered or prioritized. Keep up the amazing work!”

“Forethought does some of the best AI related futurism and strategy work, and I think it's very valuable that they're thinking about this. They seem at least somewhat funding constrained, which is unfortunate, and it seems that marginal dona…”

“Here's my updated sense of where Sean and co. are at, extremely heavily influenced by colleagues, especially Nate Rush: My original comment on Sean continues to stand up well today. He appears to be among the very most competent people bui…”

“Donating 50k. Lightcone's main projects – Lighthaven, Lesswrong, and websites for good causes – all seem very valuable for making AI go well. I would like there to be more AI safety events, better public discussion of AIS ideas, and more bi…”

“I donated $50k via Manifund because I think Lightcone is great and tends to have a harder time getting funding from the usual suspects. I do work at AIFP, and we’ve been working with Lightcone on some new projects, but this donation is not …”

“Donating ~half of my remaining regranting funding ($25k). While this is not in the category of things I wanted to fund with the regranting pot (i.e. individuals working on scheming research), I think Lighthaven is worth supporting. My ma…”

“I'm donating at least $10k (via Manifund). I think Lightcone has been hugely impactful (see the above, which I think is very compelling evidence of a large amount of impact), and can't get funded from many of the usual places. COI Note: L…”

“Building a culture of hands-on experimentation is probably the best way to do AI safety outreach, and Apart seems to have executed on it really well.”

“I like Apart; I like their results. The top-of-funnel reference class they're in includes Bluedot, Nontrivial, AISC, aisafety.info. Three of those groups also struggle for institutional funding. Two of those groups are also trying to put ou…”

“Petr and his team are actual filmmakers making some of the only AI art I admire. I can corroborate the key claim above about his augmented work being > an order of magnitude cheaper than traditional film production. The 12 month timeframe u…”

“Making a small initial offer in support of this project! Reasons I'm excited for this: Petr's past work with Dwarkesh is both a strong credential, and a credible signal that he can produce more films of this nature I am excited for gen AI r…”

“Per my own work, I feel very excited about means of evaluating AI systems that are more "in the wild"/not having the constraints of existing benchmark-style tasks (self-contained, algorithmically scorable, etc.). From this perspective "AI v…”

“I'm donating $10k, and I think there's a good chance I'll come back and end up donating more. I think that AI Digest has done great work and will be able to put marginal funding to good use. Stuff I'm particularly excited about in the past…”

“Excited to approve this project, and contribute a bit of funding myself! Sage is one of the few EA/AI safety orgs that can ship great software products. I've been a fan of theirs all the way since the Fatebook days; more recently, Agent Vil…”

“This seems like solid work that I would love to see continued! Your "how fast is AI improving" explainer seems great and I would love an improved version to exist. The chain of thought faithfulness explainer also sounds great. So you seem t…”

“I think this is very promising. This team seems to have some of the people who have the clearest thoughts in the world about acausal interactions. I've asked several people who I trust a lot in this space and gotten universally positive ref…”

“This seems like a great opportunity that's fallen through the cracks of the existing funding ecosystem (ie, there's not adverse selection in funding this), so I'm excited to fully fund this. (And open to giving more funding if there's good …”

“Very excited for this project. "Get people blogging about transformative AI" seems like a straightforwardly good idea. While there are already some great blogs out there (eg ACX & AI Futures Project, Zvi's, Steve Newman's), I expect there c…”
