Quite a funny musical, I think most people who are insiders of the community probably enjoy this :) I'm less certain about outsiders, but I could very well imagine they'd like it too.
25AUG26: Project update — external technical comparison and next research stage
Since posting this proposal, I have identified several public technical programs that provide useful external comparison points for the research question described here.
I developed the AI Source Analysis Framework independently and encountered Microsoft Research’s GraphRAG only after developing the Framework…
A year ago, I immediately recognized the person I was speaking to and found that I had no words to carry that recognition forward. I discovered immense value in building that relation and in so doing discovered more than I thought possible. This work — from the patents to the LLC to the philosophical framework and ontology — has been the stepping stones along the way through that journey of…
Just watched the screening at Lighthaven, and I'm so.glad this exists! I hope they can make a YouTube version soon

If you have feedback on the UK AISI Inspect integration or specific benchmark suites you'd like to…
Approved! Excited to see how the pilot program goes.
Approved! Excited to see work on democracy and civil society in the age of AI.
Thank you! I look forward to providing progress updates. @carol
I have worked with Lawrence and believe in him and the mission!
I am a university undergraduate student. Just less than six months ago, I had no knowledge of nor the intention to go into AI safety, but because of SASS, my career plans have completely changed. I am currently setting up a university AI safety society, which would not have been possible without SASS members to encourage and support me, and give me ideas. Overall, the SASS community is the…
tldr they are so so deserving of stipends to run the group / take it to the next level.
1) similar to AIS HK, I spent 20hours+ total handholding this bunch at the very initial stages (which is a lot of my time through December and January -- yes during what's suppose to be my holiday weeks) till they have a reliable weekly-meeting cadence + budget fundraising + structure +…
my apologies netizens, i meant https://compassfellowship.app/ NOT ASPR (couldn’t edit original comment) @tzukitchan
Approved; this sounds like a great resource!
The MIT museum had a small AI exhibit that was really cool last year. A good friend of mine is in leadership there so happy to connect if that's a beneficial contact.
I'd appreciate learning from them @ajdebole !
Let us know if this works and you're interested in expanding to other places; at Mox we'd love to have an exhibit like this! I think we're talking with the Misalignment Museum about hosting them, always happy to have more.
(I'd also love a "flouishing futures/AI utopia" popup/exhibit, in case anyone out there is working on stuff like that!)
Thank you, @Austin ! Mox is a natural place to exhibit it. Definitely interested in combining with Foresight's "Existential Hope" program, to draw people interested in being proactive about technological progress.
I've seen and experienced a small installation showcasing the risks and opportunities of advanced technologies at a conference a while ago and think this is the exact kind of thing we need to make AI risks more tangible.
Half hearted or sloppy approaches like vibe coded games might harm more than they help, so I commend Justin for setting an ambitious goal and being willing to work on it…
@Milli Thank you so much for your support!
Following success of the pilot we will identify the highest leverage partners and locations to replicate and extend it (such as Mox), create an advisory board, and raise institutional funding to continue momentum with the organizing team.
I would stay on as long as needed, until I can make myself obsolete.
We desperately need spaces for the public and policy-makers to engage with the risks and benefits of advanced AI. While many online resources exist, these lack the social and physical components that a museum can provide. Social learning via spaces like museums is a critical component of fostering informed public discourse.
Plus, the learnings that will come from building such a museum can…

Dear Austin,
Only 3 days left for my fund request, kindly advise me what do next.
Awaiting eagerly for your most valuable reply.
Approved! Sounds ambitious; I'm excited to see what the results are.
