I wonder if anyone has examined the pros and cons of protesting against AI labs? I have seen a lot of people uncertain about this. It may be useful to have someone have a post up, having done maybe <10 hours of thinking on this.

Suggestion: Enlarge the font size for pronouns on EA Global/EA retreat name cards

There was a period when I used they/them pronouns and was frequently misgendered at EA events. This likely occurred because I present as male, but regardless, it was a frustrating experience. I often find it difficult to correct people and explicitly mention my preferred pronouns, especially in socially taxing environments like EAGs or retreats. Increasing the size of the pronouns on name cards could be helpful.

Although I think this is incredible, there is a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that it may be difficult to sustain the kind of success rate that CE is currently achieving. Do you anticipate that, as you run more incubation programs, you will see more incubated charities failing or shutting down?

Do you have a sense of whether you will eventually exhaust cost-effective charity ideas as you continue to run more incubation programs?

Thanks for writing this! This is cool to see.

I may have missed this but do you have a sense of whether this marketing push is leading to more people working on pressing problems that 80k endorses? I am curious if there is a direct correlation between money spent on marketing and people working on these problems. 

Shame you couldn't get involved with stuff here in Bristol; I think we could have made more of an effort last year to be more open to folks outside of the University of Bristol - glad you're liking it in Oxford!

Yeah, I concur. I feel like this could have been under a separate tag that we could have hidden instead. 

I think you intended to link to this instead of the 80K article at the top?

Thanks for engaging with this post, Adrià!

Yup, it's the growth in staff. 

I suspect it isn't the number of staff but rather how highly elite and educated the EU body is. Other countries seem to trust their decisions on this ground.

Off-topic but I thought the 'Company', 'Valuation' and 'Severity' columns were too narrow. They're hard to read on mobile.
