What is the time-urgency, if you don’t mind my asking? Other than Vassar’s ascension, the Summer of Code projects, and LessWrong, I wasn’t aware of anything going on at SingInst with any kind of schedule.
My first attempt at volunteering for Eliezer ended badly, for outside and personal reasons, and I haven’t seriously considered it since, mostly because I didn’t really understand the short-term goals of SingInst(Or I didn’t agree with what I did understand of them).
Also, to be honest, the last thing that I found useful (in terms of my Singularitarian goals) to come out of it was CEV, which was quite a while ago now. Are there new projects, or private projects coming to public view? Why now?
The time-urgency is just that we may gather interns for the summer (summer being convenient for those in school, which includes some though not all of the pool of potential interns), and summer will be here soon.
As to new projects: if we have a summer interns group, then, yes. See the “plausible projects” list above.
