What progress have you made since your last update?

At the beginning of June, I finished the translation of the Alignment Curriculum. It is published open access on the Brazilian website 80000horas.com.br:

https://80000horas.com.br/alinhamento-da-ia-um-curso-introdutorio/

We also have a translation of the Governance Curriculum:

https://80000horas.com.br/fundamentos-de-seguranca-de-ia/governanca-da-ia-um-curso-introdutorio/

Unfortunately, we don’t have many great prospects for putting this material in good use at least in the next semester, although we’ve had some hopeful developments:

-Our project of an AI Safety Fundamentals virtual programme in Portuguese hasn’t got off the ground yet.

-One study group (at the University of São Paulo - Ribeirão Preto) seems to be currently inactive, and another (at Getúlio Vargas Foundation - Rio) is currently facing some uncertainties about how to proceed for the next semester. 

-Fortunately, a formerly inactive group at the University of São Paulo - São Paulo is coming back to life and they expressed interest in the material.

-At the end of June, we organized a small, experimental local EA conference here in Brazil, and it was quite successful (around 200 people showed up). Among its main subjects was AI Safety, and that might get some people interested in forming more groups in future.

@Loppukilpailija, I really appreciate your contribution. :) (If you're interested, the translation is available here (I'm just in the process of finishing the final chapters' images): https://80000horas.com.br/alinhamento-da-ia-um-curso-introdutorio/)

I did it mostly by machine translation post-editing (the subtitling work, for example, is hard to do by MT post-edting when the original subtitles are not well put together, and they mostly weren't, so they were mostly done by human). I did it with a mix of Google, Deep-L and Chat-GPT, mostly the latter. You can really be impressed by how useful they can be, but also by how and where they need editing. But some errors are quite understandable: standadization of terms, idioms and sayings, complicated English grammar and anglicisms that even natives might make mistakes about, context, etc.

Again, thank you so much

Hi there @Jason, Thanks for the interest. Unfortunately, I haven't received any followups from the EAIF. And the only other one I tried for was this one, so...

So, I went on working with the funding I got, and i'm currently ~85% through.
