Had a chat with today and he wanted to put a PauseAI logo on his backpack. Got us talking about making merch! This could help in two ways: 1) Exposure. Brand awareness, gets people talking. 2) Money, can be used to cover costs (would be nois) Some ideas for prints: - Just a nice pause logo on a t-shirt. Simple. Stylish. Sexy. - "What's your p(doom)?". I'd wear that. Helps you find the most interesting person in the room. Or otherwise, gives you a conversation when someone asks "whats a pcdoom?" - Shoggoth variations - Only shoggoth mask - ?

I would buy it

Stickers are something you can mail, and funding production of large numbers of them by selling some could be useful.

awake-maroon•8/12/23, 6:10 PM

For t-shirts, for 'high end' variants, with a higher price, I'll work on some designs.

awake-maroon•8/12/23, 6:12 PM

A couple of other things about stickers - they can be printed at the national level so mailing is cheap.

awake-maroon•8/12/23, 6:22 PM

They can generally be printed also as iron-ons, which is much cheaper than ordering whole shirts, and provides an alternate for handing out to volunteers and supporters more freely

awake-maroon•8/12/23, 6:24 PM

As long as they are the kind that are easily peeled off, they can also encourage people to display their support in ways they might not otherwise - putting a sign in their window, in particular.

awake-maroon•8/12/23, 6:28 PM

Custom shoggoth plushy - these things are expensive but might be appropriate for a fundraiser event, to auction off.

awake-maroon•8/12/23, 6:29 PM

You can get them with a voice recorder inside, so you could get the plushy to say things.

hurt-tomatoOP•8/12/23, 9:43 PM

Kim you are brilliant

awake-maroon•8/14/23, 1:12 AM

What do you think of working with designs around the phrase 'There is no Plan A' ?

hurt-tomatoOP•8/14/23, 6:29 AM

Sounds like a good conversation starter

skinny-azure•8/24/23, 5:55 PM

Awesome Kim! I would like to wear something that is direct about hey lets talk about this or happy to explain, to make it unambiguous that I am open to discuss the topic with a stranger on the train

skinny-azure•8/24/23, 5:58 PM

When I was board of a surfing association I had this idea and we created a tshirt for the group in the college intro week. Like surfing? Talk to me. It gave us three awesome members through these tshirt sparked conversations

Hi - I went away on vacation for 10 days and just got back. It'll probably be a week or two before I have something fit to post, as I'm also working on other stuff. It's always on my mind - let's hope inspiration hits me.

Hhurt-tomato Awww yeah I set one up: https://pauseai-shop.fourthwall.com/

moderate-tomato•9/3/23, 4:39 AM

This is great, thanks for setting up the store!

I was wondering whether it’s possible to put the logo on both the front and back of the shirt?

And whether the shirt could also come in orange?

moderate-tomato•9/3/23, 6:00 AM

This would look great on a black shirt

We would need to request copyright permission from the creator first:

awake-maroon•9/5/23, 8:38 PM

I agree this belongs on a shirt, but I'm inclined to optimize it for that. I'm drafting something and we can refine the design here.

^ That's where I'll work on designs. It's just started, hopefully I'll get my teeth into it in the next few days

awake-maroon•9/5/23, 8:41 PM

I'm looking for a good, easily grokked graphic of how frontier models have been tearing through all the current benchmarks.

awake-maroon•9/5/23, 8:41 PM

Making one might be an idea.

awake-maroon•9/6/23, 6:08 PM

Draft. Want to put a subtle texture in the orange area like worn paint. Planning to add as many signatories as fit, given the main text would be placed high up on the shirt.

awake-maroon•9/6/23, 6:09 PM

@Michael @Joep Meindertsma what do you think of this design for a shirt?

awake-maroon•9/6/23, 6:10 PM

The Pause AI logo isn't worked in yet, and I'm considering possibly using a QR code instead. Also I'm wondering how to reference CAIS for proper credit.

Hhurt-tomato Awww yeah I set one up: https://pauseai-shop.fourthwall.com/

scornful-crimson•9/6/23, 7:29 PM

Awesome. I think white, and orange, versions would also be great

Not exactly the shade I want it to be, but looks pretty good

moderate-tomato•9/11/23, 3:50 AM

Looks good

Is there a way to put designs on the front and back of the shirt, or would that be too costly?

awake-maroon•9/12/23, 12:37 AM

I'm thinking of adding some info to that graph, to make it believable. Maybe parameter count on the y, time on the x, current models and planned models.

awake-maroon•9/12/23, 12:38 AM

With maybe 3 points on the curve that are labeled with some achievement by the model with that number of parameters

awake-maroon•9/12/23, 12:40 AM

This should be subtle, I think - small print only clearly visible close up, that doesn't interfere with the main statement

awake-maroon•9/12/23, 12:45 AM

Possibly this is best adapted as a mug

moderate-tomato•10/11/23, 7:44 AM

Feedback on this design:

I like this version better than the second version
Font should probably be bolder, especially the smaller sizes, especially if you want it to be visible from far away on a t-shirt

broad-emerald•11/10/23, 9:23 AM

If it's on a t-shirt, you can just put the PauseAI logo on the other side of the shirt
Either this design on the front and the PauseAI logo on the back or vice versa

broad-emerald•11/10/23, 10:24 AM

How about some stickers or button designs based on these type of road signs/warning signs?

broad-emerald•11/10/23, 10:26 AM

Could be an orange diamond shaped sign like these that says "AI X-RISK AHEAD" or has a pause icon at the top and says "PAUSE AI" underneath or something like that

broad-emerald•11/10/23, 10:27 AM

Evoking people's existing safety/warning connotations with this style of sign

broad-emerald•11/10/23, 10:29 AM

Or even just lifting one of these signs, like "BE PREPARED TO STOP" is pretty appropriate I think
