Are there any high p(doom) orgs who are focused on the following:
Pick an alignment "plan" from a frontier lab (or org like AISI)
Demonstrate how the plan breaks or doesn't work
Present this clearly and legibly for policymakers
Seems like this is a good way for people to deploy technical talent in a way which is tractable. There are a lot of people who are smart but not alignment-solving levels of smart who are currently not really able to help.
What kind of "research" would demonstrate that ML models are not the same as manually coded programs? Why not just link to the Wikipedia article for "machine learning"?
