I think it was "will replace" when I wrote the comment but now it's "must replace"? If that's the case, it's better now.

Upvoted because I'm glad you answered the question (and didn't use EA grant money for this).

Disagreevoted because as an IMO medalist, I neither think science olympiad medalists are really such a useful audience, nor do I see any value in disseminating said fanfiction to potential alignment researchers.

Personally I don't believe in a "trusted person", as a concept. I think EA has had its fun trying to be a high trust environment where some large things are kept private, and it backfired horribly.

I'll take <agree> <disagree> votes to indicate how compelling this would be to readers.

That was the aim of my comment as well, so I do hope more people actually vote on it.

I was initially impressed and considered donating to the fund in the future, but then noticed the ~$300K grant without a public report. I can't see myself donating to a fund that doesn't say what it's doing with almost 30% of its disbursed funds.

I came to this discussion by following a link from the Animal Welfare Fund's report where it gave out a large grant which isn't publicly disclosed.

He really did love carrots. I seem to remember him saving me from (what was possibly) hypoglycemia in the middle of a hike by giving me a carrot.

May his memory be a blessing.

Personally since my grant was probably too small to justify the effort of a clawback, and the statute of limitations had passed, I donated all of it, divided between the GiveWell top charities fund and GiveDirectly.

I somehow missed that 🤦🏼‍♂️.
