EV appears to be struggling to sell Wytham Abbey, with its listed price now at under £6M https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbswrssus240139

I thought the team behind the EAGx designs were really great and I loved them. Have you considered reaching out to them to make designs for your store?

I also think the website design seems a bit off to me

Yeah I think Wise could actually just work on its own alone

It also appears that the link to ELK in this section is incorrect

• Making use of an AI’s internal state,² not just its outputs. For example, giving positive reinforcement to an AI when it seems likely to be “honest” based on an examination of its internal state (and negative reinforcement when it seems likely not to be). Eliciting Latent Knowledge provides some sketches of how this might look.

The link to ELK in this bullet point is broken.

• It’s not currently clear how to find training procedures that train “giving non-deceptive answers to questions” as opposed to “giving answers to questions that appear non-deceptive to the most sophisticated human arbiters” (more at Eliciting Latent Knowledge).

It may intend to point to here: https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/qHCDysDnvhteW7kRd/arc-s-first-technical-report-eliciting-latent-knowledge 

This is cool, thanks for writing it!

I don't think my particular VAs have more capacity, but I believe Virtalent has other VAs ready to match with clients.

It is unclear to me whether I’ve just gotten lucky. But with Virtalent you can switch VA and the minimum commitment is very low, which is why I think the best strategy is just to try

Hey Theo - I’m James from the Global Challenges Project :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this - we need to think hard about how to do movement building right, and its great for people like you to flag what you think is going wrong and what you see as pushing people away.

Here’s my attempt to respond to your worries with my thoughts on what’s happening!

First of all, just to check my understanding, this is my attempt to summarise the main points in your post:

Cool! Have you considered turning those notes into a post? Could be a great way for more people to see rhem

I'm not familiar with CIO's unfortunately, so don't know :(

Great suggestions. I didn't know that Osome would also do company formations, thanks for the tip. I simply just listed the process I used.

Also excited to check out Starling and Free Agent. Thanks for the recommendations.

I agree that this post would be substantially enhanced with summaries of key responsibilities. I'd love for you to contribute to that and perhaps we can update this post and add you as a coauthor?

I'm probably not going to work on this post myself more, as I just wanted to spend a few minutes writing a quick post. But if you feel excited about it I think it could be valuable for you to draft extensions to this post :)

USA recommendations

I recommend  Stripe Atlas to set up a USA for-profit entity https://stripe.com/atlas. It costs $500 for them to set up your entity.

I also recommend https://mercury.com/ for US banking

Yup

Transcript:

(00:00):
Good afternoon. I'm going to talk about embracing the intellectual challenge of effective altruism. This has been a theme of the conference, so I don't think this will come as a surprise to many of you, but I think it's an important direction for us to think about. So I think of it as being a dirty secret of effective altruism: that it's hard. And I'm going to say a bit more about what I mean by hard in a second, because I'm using that term in a somewhat unconventional way.
 

(00:31):
Now being hard could be concerning. One concern is,... (read more)

Seems right, I agree. Thanks for the feedback!

That's reasonable - thanks for sharing! We might try and shake it up if we do a future round; will need to think about it.

I have now made some small clarifications to the original post. If we decide to continue with the bounty program then I'll try and do more clarifications to our aims and why we're doing it this way :)

Heavily relying on preexisting content is okay! I expect a good answer might just come from reviewing the existing literature and mashing together the content

Good question! Yes these sorts of replies are allowed and I would be excited to see them!

Good question!

If I were an onlooker I might be thinking "hmm looks like these people are trying to settle difficult EA questions in certain positions and are going to advertise those as the correct answers when there is still a lot of unsettled debate"

I think a good answer to the prompt would acknowledge the debate in EA and that people have different views.

I ought to clarify: For the purposes we'll be using our FAQ for we want to be outlining and defending our urgent longtermist view. That's why in the prompt I'm looking for answers that fall on one parti... (read more)

I think our service is easier to use. Group leaders should feel free to use whichever service they like.

My understanding is that "complex cluelessness" is not essentially identical to"deep uncertainty", although "deep uncertainty" could mean a few things and I'm not sure exactly what you have in mind.

My understanding is also that the term is not essentially identical to "uncertainty" "Knightian uncertainty" "wicked problems" “extreme model uncertainty” or "fragile credences"

I do however think that EAs often use the term "cluelessness" incorrectly in a way that makes it more similar to these other terms. I think this is because cluelessness is a confusing topic to wrap ones head around correctly.

I've recently been liking using usemotion.com to schedule my day. You tell it all your tasks and when they're due and connect your calendars and it automatically schedules all your tasks and blocks them out in your calendar (intelligently sorting them so that they all get done on time, and automatically resolving conflicts when meetings pop up)
