Are you passionate about pushing for a global halt to AGI development? An international treaty banning superintelligent AI? Pausing AI? Before it’s too late to prevent human extinction?

Would you like to live with a group of like-minded people pushing for the same?

Do you want to do much more, but don’t have the financial means to support yourself volunteering?

Then apply to stay at Pause House. I (Greg Colbourn), am offering free accommodation, (vegan) food, and a small stipend for those who need it (£50/week). In exchange I ask for a commitment to spending at least 20 hrs a week on work related to pushing for a Pause. This could be either campaigning/advocacy, or raising public awareness.

If you have an income, then I ask that you pay ~cost price (£20/day).

Pause House is located in Blackpool, UK, next door to CEEALAR (which I founded in 2018); 1hr from Manchester, 3.5hrs from London. It has a large communal work/social/events room, dining room, well equipped kitchen, toilet, laundry and small courtyard downstairs. And a meeting room and 12 bedrooms in the upper floors, 4 with en suite bathrooms (first come, first served!). The other 8 bedrooms all have sinks in them, and the use of 2 shared showers and 2 shared toilets.
