I used AI to fix transcription errors, rerrarange the ideas, and suggest tweaks to the title and some sentences.
Three of the most exciting projects to come out of EA in recent years are, in a vague sense, CEA spinouts:
* Kairos is directly a spinout of CEA and now handles most support for university AI safety groups. Basically everyone I've found who knows them is really excited about what they do

TLDR: We should spread idea's to people taking a dump through a Page a Day calendar.

Sounds like something @Hamish Doodles could do (if they were interested / thought this was sufficiently worthwhile)
I'm not not interested in this idea.
I think the hard part would be coming up with ideas and writing copy for the calendar. Illustrations are time consuming but straightforward (and fun), and there are probably plug-and-play services for manufacture and distribution.
One project I'm working on is compressing EA-related material into tweet form (eg), and a curated selection of these could form the backbone of the copy.
I've made a note in my calendar on September 1 next year to revisit this idea and see if I've got enough raw material for put something together for 2024.
If someone else wants to participate (writing, ideas, illustrations, or even accountability check-ins), DM me or leave a comment and this'll be much more likely to happen.
