I’m curious of what the outcome of this hackathon was. Is there a write-up or publicly viewable product?

I am having trouble purchasing the tickets. I’ve tried logging into my Paypal account and have tried using two different credit cards. Tip to resolve?
Is there any update on this?
This is an excellent write-up. I’m pretty new to the AI safety space, and as I’ve been learning more (especially with regards to the key players involved), I have found myself wondering why more people do not view Dario with a more critical lens. As you detailed, it seems like he was one of the key engines behind scaling, and I wonder if AI progress would have advanced as quickly as it did if he had not championed it. I’m curious to know if you have any plans to write up an essay about OpenPhil and the funding landscape. I know you mentioned Holden’s investments into Anthropic, but another thing I’ve noticed as a newcomer is just how many safety organization OpenPhil has helped to fund. Anecdotally, I have heard a few people in the community complain that they feel that OpenPhil has made it more difficult to publicly advocate for AI safety policies because they are afraid of how it might negatively affect Anthropic.
You might find this recent Federal Middle District of Florida Court decision interesting. I think this is one of the first cases where defendants are trying to argue that LLM output is speech under the 1st Am. The Court held that CharacterAI could assert 1st Am. rights of users, but did not find that LLM output constituted speech for constitutional purposes (p. 27-31)
