Hiatus: EA & LW Forum Summaries

Hi all,

I’ve recently taken on a new role as an AI Governance & Strategy Research Manager at Rethink Priorities. As a result of this we’re going to be putting the weekly forum summaries on hiatus while we work on what they should look like in the future, and hire for someone new to run the project. A big thank you to everyone who completed our recent survey - it’s great input for us as we evaluate this project going forward!

The hiatus will likely last for ~4-6 months. We’ll continue to use this email list when it’s back up and running, so stay subscribed if you’re interested and feel free to continue to share it with others.

If you’re looking for other ways to stay up to date in the meantime, some resources to consider:

Newsletters

• The EA Forum Digest - a weekly newsletter recommending new EA forum posts that have high karma, active discussion, or could use more input.

• Monthly Overload of Effective Altruism - a monthly newsletter with top research, organizational updates and events in the EA community.

Podcasts

• EA forum podcast (curated posts) - human narrations of some of the best posts from the EA forum.

• Nonlinear library - AI narrations of all posts from the EA Forum, Alignment Forum, and LessWrong that meet a karma threshold.

There are heaps of cause-area specific newsletters out there too - if you have suggestions, please share them in the comments of the EA forum version of this announcement.

I’ve really enjoyed my time running this project! Thanks for reading and engaging, to Coleman Snell for narrating, and to all the writers who’ve shared their ideas and helped people find new opportunities to do good.
