probably research done outside of labs has produced more differential safety progress in total
To be clear — this statement is consistent with companies producing way more safety research than non-companies, if companies also produce even way more capabilities progress than non-companies? (Which I would’ve thought is the case, though I’m not well-informed. Not sure if “total research outside of labs look competitive with research from labs” is meant to deny this possibility, or if you’re only talking about safety research there.)
I’m just talking about research intended to be safety/safety-adjacent. As in, of this research, what has the quality weighted differential safety progress been.
Probably the word “differential” was just a mistake.
