About Me

I'm a regrantor most interested in technical AI alignment, control, and security projects. I'm also interested in funding macrostrategy and coordination (things like my Shallow Review of the field but better).

Final report

Description of subprojects and results, including major changes from the original proposal

The post went up roughly on time (29th December) and was fairly well-received (though it garnered less karma than last year). Comments were good and only the Alex Altair entry required notable edits. This is evidence but not strong evidence that the current version is error-free.

Our conference scrape provided some academic work which I think is underappreciated on LW but less than I hoped.

I'm very happy with the new fields (target case and broad approach) and our data entry on them.

Change: Following comments from funders we didn't do the "glossy" PDF version. Surplus money will go towards the 2025 version.

Spending breakdown

100% on salaries for the team. Thanks especially to Shoshannah Tekofsky, a highly graceful research manager.

A donor has sent another $10k, which will partly fund the 2025 edition.

Thanks very much to all donors! A private donor has offered to fill the difference so please stop sending me money (mods, if there's a way to close projects I can't see it). We've started work.

The predecessor was my most important project last year. I've personally verified that there's a great deal of demand for some version of this ("customer" orgs and institutions and "supplier" volunteers). Nuno has some rare and essential qualities (honesty, clarity, infovorism) while lacking some others. But the shoestring version still excites me and I vote with my feet.
