AI safety fieldbuilding in Warsaw, Poland (funding for 1 semester), Dec 2024

I just gave Piotr a small top-up for the purposes of running 2 hackathons (or events in the same spirit) in areas of AI Safety, eg making a satellite event for an Apart Hackathon.

I don't know Piotr much, and so can't be confident he'll execute well on this, but this seems pretty positive EV to me. This is very cheap, and I've met a surprising amount of University of Warsaw graduates in elite STEM circles (eg maths olympiads, Cambridge university, Jane Street, etc), so getting any of them excited about AI safety seems great to me. I think hackathons are a great way to energise and ground a group into actually doing practical things, rather than just reading or philosophising, and to help build momentum.
