ACX Grants Results 2024

Scott's announcement of the ~40 winners of ACX Grants 2024, with a thoughtful paragraph on each funded project (lead-battery recycling in Nigeria, kidney-donation lobbying, the Far Out Initiative pain-free genetics, a 1DaySooner FDA pandemic team, anti-mosquito drones, Georgism advocacy, phage therapy, in-ovo chick sexing, open-source polygenic predictors, and more), plus notes on the impact market and evaluators.

Quality 57 · Solid. Solid: an unusually rich and readable grants-results listing that showcases Scott's grantmaking judgment, but structurally a functional announcement with no thesis or lasting insight -- top of the announcement band.

Claude’s paradigm shift 22 · Slight. None: an administrative announcement; no novelty of idea.

Real-world impact 3 · Moderate. Moderate: this is the canonical public output of a grantmaking program that actually disburses ~$1.5M and launches real projects (some materially consequential, e.g. the Georgism/LVT follow-on), so the post carries more real-world footprint than a pure-discourse essay.
