@kabirkumar
I run AI Plans, an AI Safety lab focused on solving AI Alignment before 2029. For several weeks I used a stone for a pillow. I once spent a quarter of my paycheck on cheese. Ping me! DMs not working atm due to totalitarian UK law :( SurpassAI
Whoops, thanks!
> In any case, it wasn't meant as a slight.

Dm on signal, kabstastically.07 - lets work on stuff, I'll get you something to do and people to do it with, that you want to do, is important and makes things better.
Actually, yes to the full comment, essentially, with room for nuance on specifics and implementations, interpretations, etc.
> Well it is politics but in the same way that the open source movement and trade union movements are politics.
Yes.
Would call 'society alignment' either 'politics' (not derogatory! Politics is important!!) or 'non technical ai safety'.
'society alignment' is also fine as a term imo, though might be misinterpretable as tyrannical or close to it and for politics, words that are hard to misinterpret seem good
I would call outer alignment 'the problem of precisely specifying what we mean, including how to convert values into policies and actions, such that everyone doesn't die or worse'.
Caveat: I am not a proper alignment researcher yet. Should change by August.
Lets chat on signal sometime, btw - kabstastically.07

Oh, there's some Chaos Gacha fanfics that might scratch the same itch.
Oh wait!!
Read The Games We Play. Starts a bit slow, but gets really good!!
That sucks :(
I'm not sure what you mean here?
A novella but in shortform
True. Alignment evals feel like they might that to me. Specifically, alignment evals that have been red teamed and are trying to be pumps for getting to the alignment theory that is needed.
Sweet
I would like to see more of them - any recommendations for good accounts to follow?
