I remember that Lightcone was interested in working on human intelligence amplification and/or pausing AI (I can’t find the LW comment, I’m afraid). Is that still part of the plan?
Yep, both of those motivate a good chunk of my work. I think the best way to do that is mostly to work one level removed, on the infrastructure that allows ideas like that to bubble up and be considered in the first place, but I’ll also take opportunities that make more direct progress on them as they present themselves.
