I'm happy to signal boost things like this, but, it strikes me that there is maybe going to be a large number of things potentially worth signal boosting, and I think it'd be nice for bids for that to come with something like "if I only got to make 1 signal-boosty-ask of you, it'd be this thing", vs "if I'd get 3 things out of you I think it'd be worth doing" vs "10" or something.
Signal boosting often feels/is spammy and has some cost.

Palisade Research have released out a long-form video about the history of AI and how no one understands modern AI systems. The video was made by Petr Lebedev, Palisade's Science Communication lead.
The main goal is to get people to understand what “AIs aren’t programmed, they’re grown" means. The style is focused on being entertaining and educational. It aims to not feel like a typical “AI safety comms” video, and gives the audience a lot more context than usual.
I think the video is a great introduction to AI, and it does a good job of explaining some of the background arguments for AI risk. Sharing or signal boosting the video would be appreciated!
