50+% of participants getting hired before the end of a program is disgustingly good. On this metric, Generator beats every other fellowship in AI Safety (which ime usually reach ~80% lifetime hiring rates after a year or so). Apply now!

Want to work at METR? A Generator resident was recently hired there! BlueDot? A generator resident was recently hired there! Guidelight? A Generator resi- Over half of the first Generator cohort has been hired since it ended in August 😎 Maybe you should apply to Generator 2.0?

generator seems really cool, and a great on-ramp for ai safety roles (including non-research roles, which i think are really underrated!) consider applying :D

Apply now to Generator! Generator is the best way to jump in and get involved in AI Safety if you're looking to do anything other than pure research. Excited to be mentoring again! So impressed by the residents, their projects - and how quickly they're all getting hired :))
