I sometimes worry that I'm still super persuadable/impressionable when people with e.g. upper-class British accents or who speak very well or who're affectively agreeable say things vs e.g. American Southerners or more abrasive debaters but... I found this BBC discussion between Lady Hale and Archbishop Williams to be such a heartwarming/encouraging example of how people can disagree with each other on a very contentious/important topic in the most gentle/humble/polite way.

Shoutout to LEEP for (being recognized for) their great work in South Africa !

Hi - thanks for the reply ! Yeah sorry, I made a typo - we've tried Postily and Survation (claimed to be able to do it but it's like ~5x Positly?). Thanks for your help !

Hi - thanks for writing this/thinking about it - I feel like it's very "old school EA" and maybe we don't see/do enough of this type of investigation anymore on the forum ?

I want to note that I think this post would be improved quite a bit by having a more defined "what's the issue/how is this bad?" type section - I had to read it twice to find that info, and I feel like it could be expanded-upon

Idk how to make the right people at CEA see this but: I thought the theme/header at the top of the forum during Giving Season has been unbelievably good-looking ! The orange, the yellow, the images ! Would be kinda sick for it to have something like that all the time

I don't think I feel strongly either way, but why is this something that should posted on the EA Forum ? I don't think its obvious/clear how someone should view this other than just random AI-industry news ?

Hi @joey and @MCF - just wanted to point out that on more than one occasion when I've been reviewing someone's grant proposal, they thought "clear passes" in the "what do we mean by meta?" section meant something like "things we'd pass on funding"/"things we wouldn't consider funding" rather than "things which pass our test for fundability/things we defs want to fund". Maybe not a huge issue but probably worth making a small edit for clarity.

Thanks !

maybe a dumb question, but why do you (feel the need to) reward your LLM ?

I've shared this with the Muslims for EA group
