Bi-weekly meeting notes
Present: @johncoate @alberto @Leonie @katejsim
AMA debriefing
Successful first one! Rich engagement, good stat.
Following up on Anton’s:
- @alberto will circulate recap post to encourage follow-up engagement
- In a week’s time, @katejsim will ask Anton to check back in, if he’s able to
- Based on how this goes, we’ll set up a system of following up on AMAs
Strategies for making AMA discussion more in-depth:
- Extend beyond one hour for live portion. Half day?
- Make the introduction post more substantive
- Ask speakers to answer some questions in the days leading up to spark more interesting discussions during the live session
- Prep speakers to consider policy implications. One way to do this is to phrase policy questions differently since speakers may not feel they have much to say about “policy.” For example: “If you could wave a magic wand, what would you want to see?”; “What are the biggest obstacles? What makes them difficult and what do you want to see instead?”; “If you could do this again, how would you do it differently?”
Next AMAs
- We agreed to make the AMAs monthly. Might be good practice to stick to the same time (every second Wednesday of the month, for example). Thoughts?
- @johncoate and @MariaEuler, are there any topics in particular from our planning thread that you think would be well-received?
- All the prep work for AMA is in the planning thread. Who’s able to organize the next one?
Code review
@katejsim is working on AI governance threads, @Leonie on infrastructure threads.
