Let's suppose we succeed in aligning a super-intelligence. We should expect that the super-intelligence will be able to provide a pretty good estimate of how impactful various people's actions were. So maybe there are some people toiling away on AI Safety who feel sad that their efforts aren't being recognised. I guess what I'm saying is that if we succeed you will be. I'm hoping that at least some people will find this encouraging.
