Astral Codex Ten - Open Thread 224
1: There’s a great new article out on effective altruism and the Carrick Flynn campaign. “Flynn . . . remains confident that even a small number of lawmakers, armed with the ideas of effective altruism, can bend the hinge away from destruction and back toward flourishing.” Although the article mentions his generous PAC support, Flynn cannot use that money himself, and he still needs a last infusion of direct funding for his real campaign before the election on Tuesday. If interested, please donate here, up to a maximum of $2900 for the primary and general. 2: DeepMind’s AI alignment team is hiring researchers and software engineers.
