Exciting! Great to see Shrek making an appearance again.

I'm planning to post at least one thing for Draft Amnesty :)

By coincidence, I just came across this layer-hen genetics project that got funding from OP. I don't know much about the work or how promising it might be.

Luke, I took part in the GWWC ambassador program you ran in 2021 and had the pleasure of interacting with you on a few occasions. Your enthusiasm and thoughtfulness were a part of what pushed me to deepen my involvement in the EA community and eventually go on to do community building full-time. I really appreciate the work you've done to grow GWWC into an outstanding organisation. I wish you all the best!

In case you haven't seen it, here's a fireside chat we hosted with Ezra Klein in 2021. It might be cool to have him back at EAG though!

I share your inclination toward significant diversification. However, I find myself grappling with the question of whether there should be specific limits on this diversification. For instance , Open Philanthropy's approach seems to be "we diversify amongst worldviews we find plausible," but it's not clear to me what makes a worldview plausible. How seriously should we consider, for example, Nietzscheanism?

I agree that thinking from first principles can be great but, as I'm sure you're aware, it's super difficult! Do you have any thoughts on encouraging and/or facilitating more of this kind of thinking in the community?

What do you think people in the EA community get wrong (or fail to sufficiently consider) when it comes to cause prioritisation?

I'm glad this now exists, and the leadership seems great! My impression is that work on restricting the growth of the farmed insect industry is similarly very funding-constrained. Given that, I'm curious about the decision to focus the foundation's efforts exclusively on scientific research rather than also supporting policy or advocacy work.

Hello forum, just checking in as the EAGxLondon team lead. A couple of things I'd like to say:

1. As Ollie notes, we had some problems with the venue. We're hoping to have a time in early April locked in soon and will send out an announcement when we do.
2. Why an EAGx in London? EA Globals have a high bar for admissions, but the UK has a large number of students who are newer to EA. We want to create an opportunity for them to attend an EA event this year and EAGx will be much more accessible for them.

Is the survey data closed access? If so, would it be possible to request access? I have a few questions of my own I'd like to try answer
