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:

  1. Go to aisafety.info

  2. Search for "cartesian frames"

  3. Click “I’m asking something else” when no live articles show up

  4. Click on the “edit” button next to one of the in-progress articles that show up to go to the doc
