Request for mentors to join the Sentient Future Project Incubator Sentient Future Project Incubator is seeking mentors for its second iteration after a successful first program with 120 participants, high recommendation scores, and over half of projects continuing post-program. The incubator focuses on projects improving welfare of all sentient beings, with a call for more technical AI safety work. I helped Sentient Futures run the first iteration of their Project Incubator https://www.sentientfutures.ai/projectincubator/ . The program brought together around 120 people, split between mentors and mentees, to work on impactful projects focused on improving the welfare of all sentient beings. If you're curious, some projects that came out of the first incubator include: There were many other https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZPdOL2du s&list=PLhJLjteiXrbqCoc57umGtunOpvjXX7DAn concrete https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCTAuWd VfQ&list=PLhJLjteiXrbooCIOIyHljuT6bjWc3utOU outputs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS0uQ-4hwvM&list=PLhJLjteiXrbq9JgX7-Zjm-GQlh gYdYES&pp=0gcJCe4COCosWNin from the incubator, over half of the projects are continuing after the end of the program, and we received a median score of 9/10 for how likely a participant is to recommend the program to friends or colleagues with similar interests from both mentors and mentees . These outcomes surpassed our expectations, and so we're hosting a second iteration What does the program look like for mentors? Most AI safety work currently fails to account for sentient beings beyond humans alive today. This paradigm needs to shift to increase the chances we can prevent the mass suffering of, and ideally create great futures for, future sentient beings. If you have a project that can help, I'd appreciate your help. We'd love to see a range of project ideas in this next round, and are especially interested to see more technical projects; benchmarks, evals, fine-tuning experiments, etc. If you or anyone you know would be a good fit, please apply to be a mentor by July 8th I'd love to answer any questions you might have here or by email mailto:brody@sentientfutures.ai . Don't hesitate to reach out
