How Easy Is It to Audomate?

Despite a clear need for it, a good source explaining who is doing what and why in technical AI alignment doesn't exist. This is our attempt to produce such a resource. We expect to be inaccurate in some ways, but it seems great to get out there and let Cunningham’s Law do its thing.[1] 

The main body contains our understanding of what everyone is doing in technical alignment and why, as well as at least one of our opinions on each approach. We include supplements visualizing differences between approaches and Thomas’s big picture view on alignment. The opinions written are Thomas and Eli’s independent impressions, many of which have low resilience. Our all-things-considered views are significantly more uncertain. 

This post was mostly written while Thomas was participating in the 2022 iteration SERI MATS program, under mentor John Wentworth. Thomas benefited immensely from conversations with other SERI MATS participants, John Wentworth, as well as many others who I met this summer.
