Distillation Write-a-thon
Join us for the Distillation Writathon where you are tasked with writing more digestible versions of existing literature in AI safety research and theory!
This event is ongoing.
This event has concluded.
Hosted by AI Safety Info

See the information document for up-to-date information on the event, e.g. how the top projects are selected.
You have multiple options for questions to attempt to distill!
Pick a question from our idea sheet to work on
Take one from the full list of questions on Coda, if it has a status of “Not started”, “In progress”, or “Bulletpoint sketch”
Think of a new question (but first ask in the #distillation-hackathon channel on Discord if it’s a good fit for the site)
Use a keyword to find another question already in the system. For example, if you want to see if there’s a question in progress about Cartesian frames:
Go to aisafety.info
Search for "cartesian frames"
Click “I’m asking something else” when no live articles show up
Click on the “edit” button next to one of the in-progress articles that show up to go to the doc
Other information
If you write articles in the course of the write-a-thon, and if you write on Stampy in general, your contributions are released under a permissive copyright.
Get inspired for your own projects with these ideas developed during the reading groups!
Friday, June 16th, 7am UTC: Participants may start!
Sunday, June 18th, 11pm UTC: Wrap-up Discord/GatherTown group call
