Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: What posts would you like someone to write?, published by tobytrem on February 27, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
I'm posting this to tie in with the Forum's Draft Amnesty Week (March 11-17) plans, but it is also a question of more general interest. The last time this question was posted, it got some great responses.
When answering in this thread, I suggest putting each idea in a different answer, so that comment threads don't get too confusing.
If you think someone has already written the answer to a user's question, consider lending a hand and linking it in the comments.
A few suggestions for possible answers:
A question you would like someone to answer: "How, historically, did AI safety become an EA cause area?"
A type of experience you would like to hear about: "I'd love to hear about the experience of moving from consulting into biosecurity policy. Does anyone know anyone like this who might want to write about their experience?"
If you find yourself with loads of ideas, consider writing a full "posts I would like someone to write" post.
Draft Amnesty Week
If you see a post idea here which you think you might be positioned to answer, Draft Amnesty Week (March 11-17) might be a great time to post it. In Draft Amnesty Week, your posts don't have to be fully thought through, or even fully drafted. Bullet-points and missing sections are allowed, so you can have a lower bar for posting.
