I think this has gotten both worse and better in several ways.
It’s gotten better in that ARC and Redwood (and to a lesser extent, Anthropic and OpenAI) have put out significantly more of their research. FAR Labs also exists is also doing some of the research proliferation that would’ve gone on inside of Constellation.
It’s worse in that there’s been some amount of deliberate effort to build more of an AIS community in Constellation, e.g. with explicit Alignment Days where people are encouraged to present work-in-progress and additional fellowships and workshops.
On net I think it’s gotten better, mainly because there’s just been a lot more content put out in 2023 (per unit research) than in 2022.
Is this no longer the case? If so, what changed?
