So my intuition is that letting people edit a file that is publicly linked is inviting a high probability of undesirable results (like accidental wipes, unnoticed changes to the file, etc). I’m open to looking in to this if the format gains a lot of traction and people find it very useful. For the moment, I’ll leave the file as-is so no one’s entry can be accidentally affected by someone else’s edits. Thank you for the offer though!
Oh my, this looks really great. I suspect between this and the other list of AIS researchers, we’re all just taking different cracks at generating a central registry of AIS folk so we can coordinate at all different levels on knowing what people are doing and knowing who to contact for which kind of connection. However, maintaining such an overarching registry is probably a full time job for someone with high organizational and documentation skills.
Yup, another instance of this is the longtermist census, that likely has the most entries but is not public. Then there’s AI Safety Watch, the EA Hub (with the right filters), the mailing list of people who went through AGISF, I’m sure SERI MATS has one, other mailing lists like AISS’s opportunities one, other training programs, student groups, people in various entries on aisafety.community...
Yeah, there’s some organizing to do. Maybe the EA forum’s proposed new profile features will end up being the killer app?
Great idea!

Yeah, that is a risk.
Have you checked out ASAP? Seems pretty related
