Ashgro helps AI safety projects focus on AI safety.
We offer fiscal sponsorship to AI safety projects, saving them time and allowing them to access more funding. We save them time by handling accounting, management of grants and expenses, and HR. We allow them access to more funding by housing them within a 501(c)(3) public charity (Ashgro Inc.), which can receive grants from pretty much any source.
Handle parts of tickets, whole tickets and eventually address just generally described opportunities or problems. You'll start out doing very basic tasks, but we... (read 692 more words →)
Recently, many AI safety movement-building programs have been criticized for attempting to grow the field too rapidly and thus:
Can you link to these?
This is great! Thanks for doing this.
Would you be able to add people's titles and affiliations for some context? Possibly also links to their websites, LinkedIn or similar.
You can now also subscribe to be automatically emailed when new events are added or updated. You can opt for either daily or weekly updates

To help people find what to apply to, aisafety.training acts as a well-maintained living document of AI safety programs, conferences, and other events. This will smooth the experience of people working on and joining AI safety and reduce the burden on word-of-mouth transmission of available programs. This can also be helpful for field builders planning events to see when other things are happening to plan around. We at AI Safety Support have been internally maintaining this document for some time and using it in our free career coaching calls. We now have a public-facing version, a form to add anything we’ve missed, and an email to alert us to corrections.

I have always thought of it like a vehicle blind spot not an ocular blind spot. More related to the structure of the situation than the individual.
How many places did you apply for before getting your current role or position?
How much time have you spent on applying for open opportunities?
What are some things that your org has that others don’t and should?
What are some things that other orgs have that your org should have?
What are some boring parts of your job that you have to do?
What are some frustrating parts of your job that you have to do?
What aspects of your job/place of work are different from what you expected from the outside?
Do you feel like you have good job security?
Not exactly sure what I was trying to say here. Probably using the PhD as an example of a path to credentials.
Here are some related things I believe:
Could do Go, Poker or some E-Sports with commentary. Poker unlike chess has the advantage that the commentators can see all of the players hands but the players can only see their own. Commentators often will talk about what a player must be thinking in this situation and account for what is observable to the player or not.
This would certainly be easier to scale but not as good quality.
The plan and numbers I lay out above you actually finish friendly AI in 2036, which is the 10% point
Yes, if you have a solution in 2026 it isn't likely to be relevant to something used in 2050. But 2026 is the planned solution date and 2050 is the median TAI date.
The numbers I used above a just to demonstrate the point thought. The broad idea is that coming up with a solution/theory to alignment takes longer than planned. Having a theory isn't enough, you still have some time to make it count. Then TAI might come at the early end of your probability distribution.
It's pretty optimistic to plan that TAI will come at your median estimate and that you won't run into the planning fallacy.

TL;DR
If your median estimate for TAI is in 30 years you might have to plan to solve the alignment problem in 5 years
When thinking about AI timelines I like to think about the timeline and high level plan for solutions based on them. I want to encourage others to think about and model timelines in similar ways. The following models are illustrations of the idea but likely not the best way to think about this.

A while ago I watched the 2001 film Spy Game starring Robert Redford. There is one line in the film that has stuck with me ever since. Redford's character is questioned about being paranoid and... (read 461 more words →)
