Social Comms

NOPE is an AI safety organization focused on a question most others overlook: how do the billions of daily interactions between humans and AI reshape our relationships, wellbeing, and society itself? They measure real conversations, track incidents, analyze emerging regulations, and run continuous evaluations on both raw language models and deployed products. Their work extends beyond abstract alignment theory to scrutinize how AI actually behaves in the world—in toys children use, companion apps, healthcare systems, and everywhere else it touches daily life.

This is a contract position: 10-20 hours per week at $40-50/hour, fully remote across any timezone.

NOPE has built significant research capacity but lacks the bandwidth to amplify their findings. Their incident reports, whitepapers, and evaluations sit unpublished in terms of public presence. They need someone to take that work and translate it into a genuine voice on social channels—not corporate messaging, but real commentary from someone who understands what they're investigating.

Your role would be to shape and drive NOPE's social presence across major platforms and emerging communities. You'd work with their research team to identify which findings matter most, write posts and analysis that resonate with the right audiences, engage thoughtfully in conversations with researchers, journalists, builders, and policymakers who care about these questions, and help launch and maintain their blog. The work is asynchronous; you'd have early access to everything they publish and direct collaboration with the team.

Success here means the right people actually show up: practitioners in AI, people building policy, journalists covering the space, everyday users sensing something's wrong. Not viral metrics or engagement tricks. Small, authoritative, and human.

You'd be a strong fit if you've grown social accounts before and understand how to build an audience around substantive work. You care about AI's impact on human connection and social norms. You can read technical research and extract what actually matters to people. You write like yourself, not like a brand, and you won't use AI to do your thinking or writing for you. You're comfortable pushing back publicly, even with critics. You understand which platforms deserve effort and which don't. Prior experience in policy, public-good work, trust and safety, or nonprofits is valuable.

If you've already published work on AI's risks and proliferation, that's a bonus.
