Would it be a good idea to make stickers about AI alignment and stick them in the streets, to spread the idea?
I'm thinking about something simple : A nice logo, and something like "Align AI" under it, maybe with a site like safe.ai in small letters under it, or even a QR code that links to a relevant site, for example the Statement on AI risk (https://www.safe.ai/work/statement-on-ai-risk). The sticker could even be a copy of the statement, as it is quite simple yet striking. Maybe something else would be better.
The thing is that most people don't even know the problem of alignment is a thing, and have never heard of it. Most stickers often refer to things people aren't necessarily interested in but already know something about (political parties/groups, events, even political ideas like global warming and such). This would be different as most people wouldn't even know what this refers to.
This could eventually, maybe after they encounter the term a couple time through various means, make some people think : "but what is this alignment thing?" and google it. The AI aligment idea could speak to anyone, as it seems not related to any political side/particular ideology.
I'm thinking such a mean of spreading the idea may be simple yet efficient. It could be beneficial, as the lack of consideration in politics partly comes from people not knowing/talking about it.
Also, a sticker wouldn't really degrade street furniture and risk giving a bad image to the idea.
Let me know what you think about this. I live in a city in France and I'd be up for taking my bike and sticking stuff around if you think it'd be a good idea !
Consider sticking them inside STEM and political science university campuses, particularly those with good graduate programs. I expect this to increase the magnitude of impact. Here I'm deliberately refraining from commenting on the sign of impact (ie whether doing this would be net-positive or net-negative).
