I forwarded the post to Nina from HIP. But I’d recommend you also reach out to them directly: https://www.highimpactprofessionals.org/contact-us

Don’t have specific ideas in mind but there’s definitly decent overlap. I think having a call about what they see as gaps and how HIE could fill these would be very valuable.

Great to see someone talking about this! 

Would be very interested to see something tackling the same topic on AI Safety.

Please link if already exists.

Great to see this being picked up! Two questions from me:

• Have you considered collaborating with High-Impact Professionals?
• Why the community space being gibhub instead of slack (which seems to be more widely used in EA)?

I’d love to see more of the community encouraging people to allocate dedicated time to community/peer support. (Would be awsome to see some research on how this may impact the productivity of a team)

But also, aren’t the EA communities underorganized in general on peer support? Yes, people should be proactive in finding mentors, mentees and peers. But I think the efficiency would also benefit from processes:

• Hiring processes to find promising mentees
• Matchmaking processes to find mentors who can help you best
• Curated peer groups (of those who participate in the two above). This could help form a community of people who are orherwise scattered across different universities or companies (vs. class mates or collegues in a company naturally spending time together)
   

I’m seeing peer group organizing going on locally, but honestly, to me, it seems to mostly focus on the inclusion factor (which is also important) and leaves the efficient peer support part unaddressed.

Have you considered shaping supply/demand balance with career choices? Sometimes dynamics might be such that getting a marginal additional role filled in a field (just by market forces) would require a large amount of money to be spent (i.e. you need to increase the salaries of everyone in the field). Whereas you can simply increase the supply and get the role filled at current market rates.

Could you elaborate more on the 10-20% slack? What counts as slack and what benefit you expect?

But keep applying, and keep pushing forward!

Is it also a good use of the 5000 aplicant’s time? Could there be clear bars someone should meet to have non-negligible chance? Shouldn’t many focus on upskilling outside the bubble instead?

sent a DM!

Hi Steve,

My background is in computer chip component (IP) design and verification, so it is likely not particularly useful for physical projects.

But have you come across: https://tampersec.com/#get-in-touch ?
