Who is involved?
Some key players
Sam Nolan (pseudonym: Hazelfire) Sam is an independent researcher creating the Pedant language under an EA Infrastructure grant (see recent post).
Taimur Abdaal, from Causal
David Reinstein: My background... Economics academic, UC Berkeley, research/teaching in UK 15 years, now at Rethink Priorities, an empirically-driven think tank associated with EA. Side projects including (funded) 'EA market testing team'. web cv
Also consulting or in discussion:
We are in conversation with James Snowden (GiveWell), who expressed some interest, but he does not see this as a top priority for GiveWell.
Lukas @ Causal Ozzie Gooen (Guesstimate, Squiggle)
Pete Wilderford, co-CEO of Givewell Others at RP and GPI (esp, David Rhys-Bernard?) who have done MonteCarlo CEAs
We could consider more about great ways to illustrate this and build up this skill that a lot of people want to learn. Michael Hewlitt is interested in building this up. Pete Wilderford, CEO at Rethink is also a strong advocate of this approach. And we've had conversations with Taimur Abdal of Causal.app (and the 'not overthinking' podcast/youtube), who was very interested in facilitating this analysis within his app ... which has seed funding from FTX' Sam Bankman-Fried... so the circle all comes together
