Orexin Pilot Experiment for Reducing Sleep Need

I remember reading this by Amanda Askell years ago, and it stuck with me that optimising for "time spent conscious" is totally neglected compared to "time spent alive" when it comes to any discussion on longevity.

Interesting idea, to be executed by someone I consider to be competent, happy to support it.

AFAICT VaccinateCA was tremendously impactful, and I suspect that's one of many instances an agile, independent team would be able to do the work a calcified institution would struggle with.

Elizabeth has always struck me as a careful thinker with her blog, and the opening podcast episode showed promise. I think EA needs people with EA experience but are now slightly outside the movement to provide the kind of constructive criticism that's hard to give from within.

@Jason I'd vouch for the validity of Blaine's claim above (speaking as someone who has been involved with AI Safety Tokyo, but with the disclaimer that Blaine is also a friend of mine).
