Hey Everyone,

My name is Salan and I'm a Researchrer at https://pdoom.org/ an early-stage AI Research Lab building LLMs for long-horizon tasks in Europe. We were funded by the German Government (SPRIND).

Currently, we are trying to acquire data, specifically from people who do open-source work/research. Therefore, we pay people €300 per month to capture their digital workflows.

We also built a custom tool that is privacy-preserving specifically for capturing these workflows: Get paid to record your work · p(doom)

Since we have a high quality bar and need really strong people in their fields, finding participants hasn’t been easy. Do you guys have any tips or ideas on how we can successfully reach these profiles?

Any help is highly appreciated!
