Very, very fair point, Sawyer! There's a lot left to be desired in existing AI risk communications--especially to the public/policymakers-- so any refinements are very welcome in my book. Great post! 

Hi, I just wanted to say this is a great post! My background is in psychology and AI, so I am particularly excited about this piece and would be really excited to talk more about some of your points, especially relating to key questions that are important to investigate that may inform AI governance strategy (my current focus!) 

Great video, you two! 

Wonderful project. We have needed something like this for quite a while and I am thrilled to see it happening!

Would you say more organizational support would make for a broader equilibrium for EA-organizational needs...  

Perhaps a 'Nash-Equilibrium'? 

The promotion of pluralism allows for greater epistemic checks and balances in a way that seems unparalleled in good thinking. 

Thank you so much for bringing these ideas to the forefront, Gideon. Absolute legend. 

21st Talks, a growing existential risk and EA-focused media organization with a podcast and youtube channel, is looking for a content admin/research assistant.

The role is not currently fully funded but the content admin will receive royalties. 
The responsibilities include taking over the reins of strategizing potential podcast guests and setting up interviews via writing the guest directly or their PR team.

We are looking for someone who is also able to meet once a week to go over that upcoming content, and plan monthly content calendars, along with someone proficient in working on public communication-focused research projects. 

The role will be 5 hours a week and should be a lot of fun. Current university students who are looking to be involved in EA communication seem like great fits. Bonus points if you're in or near Ithaca NY where our current production team (Coleman Snell, Justin Dmelio) attends university. 

More details are available to anyone interested. You can shoot me an email at [email protected], using the subject line "21st Talks Content Admin Inquiry"! 

Have a great rest of your week! 

Hi! I am interested in this kind of research and I study behavioral science, and psychology at Cornell. I also do public/industry communication for X-Risk and EA, so I would love to connect and discuss what you have in mind! 

In line with Khorton's answer, life coaching

Especially from someone within Effective Altruism, who understands one's longterm goals, having an individual to sit down with each week and talk through any and all issues is well worth the pay. When coupled with journaling, the issues that would otherwise impact one's EA work can be majorly minimized. 

Even issues that may seem small or insignificant on the surface, if they are recurring, can be extremely taxing on one's sustainable EA motivation. The life coaching widely accessed within EA needs to extend far beyond just direct aspects of the career. 

If you're interested in life coaching on better achieving your goals, romance sustained motivation, etc... feel free to DM me. I'd be happy to chat about options beyond just therapy!
