Thanks for the summary, Linch! Have you considered crossposting this to the EA Forum? I think it would be valuable.

I don't know if the EA-relevance density is high enough, since only 3 of the highlighted posts (Skip Phase 3, Aging has no root cause, AI Safety) have direct EA implications.

I'll probably x-post to LW and I'll consider xposting to EAF as well!

Do you think the intensity was useful for you – did the quantity of output help develop your skills? What about the other blogger? Was it successful in incubating any latent talents?

Too soon to tell for me personally. I wrote a lot before the program, including writing less-edited things quickly (eg Quora answers, blog comments) so I don't know if I should really *expect* the time pressure to develop any really useful skills anyway.

That said, I think some of the other writers said it was directly very helpful, eg one guy (a published author) said he wrote a decent blog post and a short story in the same day, which he was never able to do before Inkhaven.
