I have a near completed position paper on the very real topic at hand. It is structured short form argument (falling under paragraph(s) && targets all 3 audiences.
I was only made aware of this “quote” call to arms w/in the last few days. I am requesting a 24 hr extension- an exception to the rule(s), I fully recognize given the parameters this request may be turned down.
I’m down with this; if I had 24 hours I could either delete or dramatically increase the quality of around 30 of my entries (60 if you count shortening and refining the yudkowsky quotes). I bet a bunch of other people could keep the momentum of the last 24 hours going, in addition to Sue and I who know we can turn the extra time into really good entries.
It would also give OP a reason to put this contest back on the front page (where it belongs), and it wouldn’t create a bad precedent because it shouldn’t cause any additional people to miss deadlines for contests in the future.
I have some other things I could work on tomorrow, but I’d rather spend it refining my entries if I’m certain that the contest isn’t closed.
In around a month, we’ll release a second competition for generating longer “AI risk executive summaries″ (more details to come).
Maybe you can enter your finished paper into that contest, as well

Thank you for your non-AI consideration :)
I have DMed you.

Also:
In case / regardless of whether they grant the extension, maybe you could post individual paragraphs as entries?
