This forum—and the EA community surrounding it—is a bit of an echo chamber. We need people who care about EA values in the rest of the world for several reasons: influence and evangelism, cross-pollination, reality checks, and pragmatism. Influence and evangelism The only way for EA to grow is to expose non-EAs to EA concepts. We need people working in all sectors and organizations who can be EA evangelists and ambassadors. This is especially important in roles like government policy and oversight

Over the past 4-5 years, I have poured a lot of time and energy into "doing good", through a combination of community building, policy advocacy, and volunteering with EA charities. On reflection, I think I have worked too much, and I negelected other important parts of my life. I am writing this in the hope that this gives some people permission to reflect on their workload and consider cutting back. I have been doing these projects while studying or working a chill 9-to-5 job, neither of which

And I think you already know that. Every, I think every day we, we made. I mean we, we say lies. So I mean we. Every day we lie to someone else. Yes. I think we need, we need bad actions in order to live. I think that's the reason behind that."

This is a post on behalf of Open Philanthropy's GCR Capacity Building team announcing that, effective as of the publication of this post, we are closing down our university group funding program and handing over the funding for most university AI safety groups to Kairos, an AI safety field-building organization. You can see their post, announcing their funding program and plans, here. In our previous post about passing on EA group funding to CEA, we discussed why we’re generally interested in

Sun Tzu wrote, “The stronger men will be in front, the jaded ones will fall behind, and on this plan only one-tenth of your army will reach its destination.” Let that sink in. That’s not a motivational poster quote. That’s a brutal truth. A tactical reality. And a challenge to you. Because in every battle — whether it’s on the jobsite, in the office, in the gym, or in your mind — not everyone is going to make it to the end. Not everyone is built to endure. Not everyone is ready to face the lo...

"One of the most confounding laws of human nature is that when faced with a task, people will work harder alone than they will when joined in the effort—a phenomenon known as social loafing. There is, however, an antidote. It’s the presence of one person who leaves no doubt that they are giving it everything they’ve got." -Sam Walker, The Captain ClassA story stuck with me this week. A colleague shared it, having picked it up from someone else. Stories travel like that. He was talking about a

This is a link post. I would be somewhat skeptical about any claims suggesting that results have been verified in some form by coordinators. At the closing party, AI company representatives were, disappointingly, walking around with laptops and asking coordinators to evaluate these scripts on-the-spot (presumably so that results could be published quickly). This isn't akin to the actual coordination process, in which marks are determined through consultation with (a) confidential marking schemes*,

Ever walked away from a situation thinking… “I knew it was too much. I should’ve said no.” In this episode of Vera Illuminates, we explore that exact moment—when your system says stop, but your mouth says yes. Why do we override ourselves? And how can we recognize the subtle signals that tell us a boundary is needed before we cross our own lines? Vera breaks it down with clarity, compassion, and a deeper understanding of the emotional intelligence behind a sacred “no.” Want more insight int...

Twitter | Paper PDF Seven years ago, OpenAI five had just been released, and many people in the AI safety community expected AIs to be opaque RL agents. Luckily, we ended up with reasoning models that speak their thoughts clearly enough for us to follow along (most of the time). In a new multi-org position paper, we argue that we should try to preserve this level of reasoning transparency and turn chain of thought monitorability into a systematic AI safety agenda. This is a measure that ...

Sun Tzu wrote, “If you order your men to roll up their buff-coats, and make forced marches without halting day or night… you will lose the greater part of your army.” Now read that again, but this time, apply it to yourself. If you push too hard, for too long, without rest… if you demand performance without recovery, hustle without pause, drive without direction—you don’t win faster. You burn out. You lose your strength. You lose your edge. You lose your people. We live i...

I have options, I have choices, I have freedoms. And I'm afraid I may mess up or imprison myself in another type of prison. And that's a lot of reason or a reason why a lot of people do stay in a prison. When the door is wide open, they see the potential, but they are comfortable."
