Summary
Back in November 2023 I posted here to launch Spiro and raise our first $198k. Two and a half years later this is an update and a fundraiser for the next step.

Short version: if you want a share of the coming Anthropic and OpenAI windfall - the $37bn+ that could be in play next year - the way in is to become 'legibly excellent', so the evaluators and donors that frontier lab staff already trust point them to yo...
I believe EA Forum should (re-)consider adding auto-translated content by default. Has this been considered lately?
Observation: As a native german-speaker, auto-translated reddit-content has become extremely relevant in my google-results lately whenever I research something using german search terms.
Expected Effect: I believe this could have large outreach effects infering from how many german policy makers, altruistic donors or otherwise interested people (questions of ethics, economics, altruism, AI) I deem very much open to contents that EA has already produced very important and well-structured insights on but who are not really able and therefor unwilling to consume english content.
Discussion points: Auto-translations still aren't perfect but usually suffice by far to convey complex contents, even with complex topics. Even more importantly, contents are a lot less (to the extent that it has truly become negligible imo) distorted by auto-translations nowadays.
Short research says Google supports auto-translated contents if it's correctly highlighted as such (consistent with my search-results).
