16 days agoVery interested in getting Japan's AI safety talent funnel up and running! The budget here is also very modest for the impact.

about 1 month agoI am a big fan of supporting local AI safety groups, and this one seems to be very active already (lots of people in photos on the website). I am sure with Tzu mentoring, the org is on a good path.

6 months agoAs mentioned in this proposal, I collaborate with Linh frequently on research (as part of Lida Safety). I work as a Research Manager now, so I would otherwise get fewer opportunities to do research directly. Linh's dataset for the AI control hackathon (a project I also participated in) was impressive. Linh has great research instincts and is hardworking, and I'm enjoying the ongoing SPAR project we are co-mentors for.
I'd encourage anyone interested in supporting the AI safety pipeline to donate to Linh!

8 months agoGeodesic has an outsized impact on the Cambridge AI safety community, through mentoring many MARS fellows and connections with ERA and Meridian. Their work on pretraining especially is unique and has high impact potential. I believe that supporting their work is a good use of funds. Disclaimer: I have collaborated with Geodesic researchers in the past.
