Final Update: From ~$450k earlier today, we’re now down to just over $250k left in unclaimed matching funds! 4 hours left to go, and by golly it looks like we’ve got a real shot at securing all the matching. Thanks everyone! Happy New Year 🎉

Donations to MIRI before Jan 1 are high-leverage. We’ve got ~$1.6M in 1:1 matching from SFF, over half of which has yet to be claimed! This is real counterfactual matching: whatever doesn’t get matched by the end of Dec 31, we don’t get. 🧵

rarely does interviews or 30+ min long videos. His latest video, an hour+ long interview with Nate Soares about “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies,” is a banger. My new favorite!

I think my favorite interview Eliezer and Nate have done so far for the book has been for the Making Sense podcast with Sam Harris. Unfortunately the full episode is for subscribers only. Fortunately, as a subscriber, I can share the full thing 🙂

I really quite like the stories/parables at the start of most chapters, and lots of folks who have read advance copies, from policymakers to folks in the media, have told us they really liked them too. E.g., from someone in the media:

Feels like it would be a fun mini coding challenge to figure out how to make this happen on purpose. How does something like this happen by accident? Why is there any code in the app that would vertically mirror text labels? Multilingual support gone awry somehow?

Pretty happy with my performance in
#F1Fantasy
this season. My best team finished 117th out of 2.5+ million teams! Even more impressed with my wife, who finished 79th (and at one point was in the top 50 🤯). F1 Fantasy power couple 💪.
