Praise for Electric Sheep
“I’m very impressed by Electric Sheep. The work of your coders and AI researchers will only grow - and show how we can take into account the largest number of sentient beings, and benefit
them.”
“Electric Sheep’s work is really incredible. I live in the Bay Area and it was amazing how your hackathon found a group I’ve been looking for - and brought us all
together.”
“We need a welfare-focussed AI safety community. There’s so much excitement and nowhere for it to go. It feels like the AI governance field just before we set up BlueDot. This is the time for Electric Sheep.”
