“New Cause Area Proposal” by TheMcDouglas

Epistemic status - statistically verified. I'm writing this post to draw peoples' attention to a new cause area proposal - haircuts for alignment researchers.

I await further investment. --- First published: April 1st, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/ApHoGrBvQPXFJ5oqG/new-cause-area-proposal --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.
