This seems like a great opportunity that's fallen through the cracks of the existing funding ecosystem (ie, there's not adverse selection in funding this), so I'm excited to fully fund this. (And open to giving more funding if there's good uses for it)

I had a chat with Clara about project plans and theories of change, and broadly thought this all sounded pretty reasonable. I would love to see better general AI safety/policy related comms and explainers, and this seems like a good intervention to help with this. It sounds like Clara intends to be fairly involved in making the fellowship go well herself and I'm impressed by how successful asterisk has been, which is good evidence she has some key skills required. I've run a fair few high time commitment online programs for my MATS scholars myself and thought that Clara's plans for helping fellows engage and feel accountable seemed broadly reasonable and she was prioritising the right things. And several people who I would be very excited to see writing more and better have expressed strong interest in participating, so I expect there to be good quality fellows.

Good luck, I'm excited to see how the project goes!
