MATS Residency applications close this Friday, Oct 31. The Residency is built for experienced researchers with an established track record, ready to do independent, full-time AI safety work.

Residents get:
• $155k–$285k compensation
• Abundant compute
• Support from leading AI safety researchers

If you know someone with a strong research background who's been thinking about AI safety, please send this their way. Apply: matsprogram.org/residency

Curious exactly how abundant compute is. There's a big difference between what one can do with 0.25x, 1x, or 4x one's salary in compute.
