Deadline: 21 August 2022 11:59PM Pacific
Location: Prague, Czech Republic but open to remote candidates
FTX-funded project: Prediction Markets & Large Language Models
Mission
The long term vision of this project is to improve our decision making as a humanity. We aim to do that by improving how prediction markets work by employing AI (a language model). If we succeed we will create a shared model of reality, an interactive knowledge base continuously updated with high quality data from human traders/forecasters. Another effect is obtaining a more truthful AI, which is an essential goal for longtermism and minimization of existential risks.

Founder - Peter Hroššo
Former Apple Machine Learning engineer with both research and entrepreneurial background. I have a track record of significant improvements in the industry, pushing projects from zero to one (MVP for EpiFor; Recommendation engine for a blockchain-based blogging platform), and designing and implementing novel approaches (neural graph representation before the invention of NSL). I'm also a long standing member of Czech EA/LW, and am closely following AI Alignment research.
ROLE DESCRIPTION
The core of the idea is finished and has been externally reviewed. But the devil is always in the details, so you should be able to debug the deep learning- and prediction markets-related ideas on the conceptual level, come up with creative practical solutions to problems we will necessarily encounter, design and implement experiments to test the ideas and while doing all that have fun :). You should enjoy whiteboard sessions as well as the work with data and coding. It’s a plus if you have experience with founding and working at startups, building products/services, and raising money. It would be a big plus if you also had experience with forecasting.
BENEFITS TO YOU
