Also: 1: ACX grantee hyperstition.ai is holding a contest to find who can generate the best AI fiction. Free compute for all entries plus $10,000 prize for the winner. More information here (https://www.hyperstitionai.com/unslop), deadline April 1. 2: The CORDA Democracy Fellowship (https://cordademocracy.org/) asks me to signal-boost them. They are: …a new fellowship bringing together researchers, builders, and practitioners to work on democratic resilience with a focus on its overlap with AI safety. It is an 8-week part-time program and we have 20 projects open for applications right now; topics cover AI governance, surveillance reform, deliberative democracy, and whistleblower protection with mentors from Harvard, ETH, MATS, AI:FAR, etc. Applications close March 30th I think this is an important cause area, but I’ve never heard of this exact organization before and can’t explicitly vouch for them, so do your own research.
