Quite a lot of smart people are taking it seriously
We are at AE Studio with research like https://ae.studio/research/self-referential and https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.10188
Anthropic is doing interesting work here, Eleos exists (https://eleosai.org/), and https://digitalminds.substack.com/p/digital-minds-in-2025-a-year-in-re… is a great review of other compelling work
The field is just beginning but it is worth taking a serious scientific approach to this work

dude, that's a pretty good idea. It makes a lot of sense what you said about reading prompts. As a non-native speaker, I'd love it too. I'll do something about it and launch it as Same Day Skunkworks soon https://ae.studio/same-day-skunkworks

Just to clarify, the first link is me and my teammate who developed this at https://www.ae.studio but with that said, you are correct that we didn't include the license from work we leaned on, we hadn't added any documentation to Github yet. We'll update it to reflect that.

ONSITE on Abbot Kinney, Venice Beach, LA Los Angeles (but grandfathered in remote across the US for now too). & ONSITE or REMOTE in Florianópolis, Brazil.
AE Studio is looking for more senior full stack devs to join our team of awesome developers and data scientists. We build products for startups and large companies like Samsung, and work on cool stuff in house.
We have a pretty fun team of developers, data scientists, designers and PMs. We build products for startups like Protocol Labs and large companies like Samsung and EA, and work on cool stuff in house. We’re particularly passionate about building products that increase human agency.
We sold our first serious skunkworks project to an acquiring company last year and that bodes fairly well for the model we're pioneering where you start out doing client work, grow personally and professionally, and then move into senior leadership for the company (we're growing a lot), or start your own skunkworks project that eventually spins out as its own business, with the resources of AE to support you and great team members to tap on and practice being cofounders with before committing.
Gotta have:
- JavaScript, React experience
- Either Node or Rails experience. Or both!
- Clean Code, Product Focused Development
- Real agile experience (work with things like Kanban, Scrum, Extreme Programming)
- Growth mindset http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/dweck)
Bonus Points for:
- Experience managing clients and client relationships

While Ycombinator is certainly based in the US, lots of people visiting/participating in HN discussions are not.
Latest poll (6 months ago): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30210378
Visualization: https://ae.studio/random/where-does-hacker-news-live
Seems to be pretty 50%/50% between US and non-US based on poll answers.

The NYT is taking a swing at longtermism, the New Yorker is taking a swing at effective altruism, and this begs for a little numerical reasoning on the topic. If we must consider every life (even distant lives), and most lives haven't been lived yet, and most lives not yet lived will enjoy a higher quality of life than we do (rational optimism), doesn't protecting THOSE lives trump everything else?

AE Studio | https://ae.studio/join-us || Data Scientists | Full-Time | Los Angeles / Brazil or REMOTE (US / Brazilian work hours)
We are AE Studio, a bootstrapped software and data science consulting business. Our mission has always been to reroute our profits directly into building technologies that have the promise of dramatically enhancing human agency, like Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). Today, we are ~150 programmers, product designers, and ML engineers; we are profitable and growing. We also have a team of top neuroscientists and data scientists with significant experience in developing ML solutions for leading BCI companies, and we are now leveraging our technical experience and learnings in these domains to assemble an alignment team dedicated to exploring neglected alignment research directions that draw on our expertise in BCI, data science, and ML.
We’re looking for experienced (ideally mid to senior-level), product-focused data scientists with ML experience who are excited about working on a variety of client projects (spanning a variety of domains and technologies), and advancing our research in BCI and alignment.
