One problem with swapcard is it is sequential. When I agree to a meeting with someone, we agree a time, even though there might be many slots that work for both of us. Later, I might want to meet with someone else, but the only slot that would work is the one I frivolously wasted earlier.
An alternative to this would be for people to set their general availability, declare bilateral meeting intentions (maybe with prioritization), and then for an algorithm to automatically assign people to timeslots and meeting locations in order to maximise connections and minimise overcrowding.
After having written an annual review of AI safety organisations for six years, I intend to stop this year. I'm sharing this in case someone else wanted to in my stead.

Hopefully it was helpful to people over the years. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.
Ahhh, what if you instead got substantial help, e.g., a research assistant? Mostly interested because there just aren't that many in-depth investigations of the whole field.
I think that the case for impact is now that OP/FTX read the review and change their perspective, rather than small donors. But I think that there is still value in this.
Yea; from my perspective, the total benefit of these posts might be higher than ever given the fact that there's much more activity and decisions being in the space now. That said, I imagine the costs are higher too (Larks's time is more valuable)
Thanks for pulling it together over so many years, and reading through a truly mindboggling array of papers & reports!
