I'm so excited to announce this year's winners of the @ai4pg.com $150K Grants program, supporting the AI community that improves how public goods are funded, evaluated and governed in an equitable way. Explore the winning projects and abstracts: www.ai4pg.com/grants/ai4pg...
Excited to share the launch of the next phase of @gainforest.earth 🌱 Gainforest.app helps communities document biodiversity, build resilience and receive funding. Built on top of @atproto.com with @hypercerts.org and @maearth.com to start a new regenerative movement in the @atmosphere.community 🌱
I'll be in Munich this July speaking at ethis.xyz. Excited to meet fellow builders and researchers - but ESPECIALLY EXCITED to speak inside my favorite museum of my childhood, the German Museum of Science 🧬 🌱!!!
Super cool talk by @rogergrosse.bsky.social at @simonsinstitute.bsky.social “Agency in collaborative learning” Workshop Influence functions and counterfactual training is used to detect training data points most influential to cause sycophancy in frontier models such as @anthropic.com Claude Mythos
Yay, restor.eco now officially supports @gainforest.earth certified projects / communities 🌱
At @gainforest.earth, we explore how emerging tech can enable local communities to govern the commons at scale in the intelligent age. Read the vision here: www.daviddao.org/posts/regene...
Sometimes I think that Richard Brautigan’s "All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace" should be the unofficial poem of @gainforest.earth — a cybernetic meadow where deep tech & nature's communities live in harmony, not in conflict 🌱
In the last decade, web3 has sparked a renaissance in public goods mechanism design little known in academia. I’m excited to share a (still evolving) short history of mechanism design for public goods across academia and web3 to help bridge both fields. Explore the timeline: recerts.org/history 🌱
