What specifically do you want researched?

Tons of stuff. Recent examples we paid gwern for are sunk costs and value extrapolation.

I have no problems at all with this construction, nor its current execution. I think it's wonderful. And I really don't want to start a flamewar. But don't you think it would be nice if there were a standard footnote in these posts stating that they were sponsored by SIAI? To inform readers, and maybe as a courtesy to those posters who write informative, well-researched posts without compensation.

Proper research ethics demands it.

I don't know about 'standard' but I did mention it in both.

It's probably worthwhile asking people to put the logo with an alt text of sponsored by leading to lesswrong or siai. people that stumble onto such an article that don't know about lw or siai are likely to be interest, should also help pagerank.
