This is a crosspost, probably from LessWrong. Try viewing it there.

Congratulations on launching!
On the governance side, one question I'd be excited to see Apollo (and ARC evals & any other similar groups) think/write about is: what happens after a dangerous capability eval goes off?
Of course, the actual answer will be shaped by the particular climate/culture/zeitgeist/policy window/lab factors that are impossible to fully predict in advance.
But my impression is that this question is relatively neglected, and I wouldn't be surprised if sharp newcomers were able to meaningfully improve the community's thinking on this.

How did you decide to be a not-for-profit? I imagine that the evals/audit work will likely be very lucrative at some point?

As stated in the post itself (section "Status"), we are not yet decided about this and are considering both non-profit and public-benefit-type for-profit style organizations.

This is great to see and the backgrounds of your team members look impressive. I really hope someone will step in to fund this.
