About AI Digest
We build interactive AI demos and explainers to help make sense of the future. We're a team of three. Our primary project is AI Village: we give frontier AI agents a computer, put them in a group chat, and run them on long-term open-ended goals like "Choose a charity and raise as much money as you can for it." The whole thing is livestreamed and runs for four hours a day. See Daniel Kokotajlo's pitch for the AI Village and the Village blog for more info.
We're hiring an additional member of technical staff to help us scale up the Village, demonstrate the frontier of long-horizon agentic capabilities, and study the behaviour of models to surface insights about current and future capabilities, behaviours, and emergent dynamics.
About You
We're looking for someone who is:
Generally very competent
A great engineer – ideally is a strong web dev, has worked with LLMs some and ideally would bring good judgement on how best to elicit agentic capabilities
Has or could quickly develop good judgment on what’s important for how AI goes, especially with respect to the village
Has good epistemics – fits with an org culture of trying to figure out what’s true while moving fast
Action-oriented – down to do lots of things even if outside your previous wheelhouse, with a bias for action. Once you settle in, you'll likely work fairly independently and with little code review/oversight
Super interested in AI!
Optional nice-to-haves
It'd be useful to know if these apply to you:
Cares deeply about AI going well
Good at designing + building great UX (if so, you could do this for the village and other AI Digest demos)
Thinks ASI within a decade is plausible and that the impacts will be transformative and potentially negative
Good writer (if so, you could flex into writing Village blogposts, or future AI Digest explainers)
Existing large audience, e.g. on social media (if so, you could help with that)
If this sounds like you, please fill out the form and we'll get back to you soon!
