[HUMAN VOICE] "Shallow review of live agendas in alignment & safety" by technicalities & Stag

Support ongoing human narrations of LessWrong's curated posts:www.patreon.com/LWCuratedYou can’t optimise an allocation of resources if you don’t know what the current one is. Existing maps of alignment research are mostly too old to guide you and the field has nearly no ratchet, no common knowledge of what everyone is doing and why, what is abandoned and why, what is renamed, what relates to what, what is going on. This post is mostly just a big index: a link-dump for as many currently active AI safety agendas as we could find. But even a linkdump is plenty subjective. It maps work to conceptual clusters 1-1, aiming to answer questions like “I wonder what happened to the exciting idea I heard about at that one conference” and “I just read a post on a surprising new insight and want to see who else has been working on this”, “I wonder roughly how many people are working on that thing”. This doc is unreadably long, so that it can be Ctrl-F-ed. Also this way you can fork the list and make a smaller one. Most of you should only read the editorial and skim the section you work in.Source:https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/zaaGsFBeDTpCsYHef/shallow-review-of-live-agendas-in-alignment-and-safety#More_metaNarrated for LessWrong by Perrin Walker.Share feedback on this narration.[125+ Karma Post] ✓[Curated Post] ✓
