our (unpaid) Research Associates team has been growing, and is tackling a variety of projects.

Luke, Anna, and Carl have been working on a variety of research papers,

some of our forthcoming research articles.

Can we get more information on these? Topics and expected completion times especially! ETA: and how they will contribute to eventually creating an FAI! (Thanks, turchin.)

I was going to ask a question exactly like this, so: upvoted.

This article makes it seem that the SIAI's primary objective is to extend community outreach in order to grow the SIAI. Thus, the SIAI is making itself exponentially more powerful, and is therefore rapidly approaching the Singularity event horizon. I sure hope the SIAI is Friendly, or we're all doomed.
