| OpenAI Alignment team | Social good organization | OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research company most well known for language models. The alignment team works on making sure models behave in ways humans find desirable. This means that models shouldn't ever perpetuate systemic racism, harass users, spread disinformation, etc. Sadly, we're not very good at preventing this things yet compared to where we want to be. We believe a big part of improvement is on the human data collection side, and that there are many interesting problems at the intersection of sociology and machine learning. |

| tentree | Social good organization | We make Earth-First clothing essentials using the most sustainable (and comfortable) materials in the world. Every time you purchase an item, we plant 10 trees. By planting trees for every purchase, we’re making big change accessible to everybody and showing the lasting impact that one small choice can have. Everything we do stems from how to do better by our planet—like planting trees. We plant trees because it’s one of the best ways to create a more sustainable future. But over the years, we’ve realized that our journey doesn’t start and end with planting trees. We’re constantly looking at innovative ways to make apparel with the smallest possible footprint and create more circular supply chains. To give you some context, a tentree sweatshirt uses on average 75% less water to make than the other sweatshirts in your closet. |
