I did a quick skim of the full paper that you linked to. In my opinion, this project is maybe a bad idea in principle. (Like trying to build a bridge out of jello—are Jungian archetypes too squishy and malleable to build a safety critical system out of?) But it definitely lacks quick sanity checks and a fail-fast attitude that would benefit literally any alignment project. The sooner any idea makes contact with reality, the more likely it is to either die gracefully, wasting little time, or to evolve into something that is worthwhile.
The proposal is trying to point out a key difference in the way alignment reasearch and Carl Jung understood pattern recognition in humans.
I stated as one of the limitations of the paper that:
“The author focused on the quality of argument rather than quantity of citations, providing examples or testing. Once approved for research, this proposal will be further tested and be updated.”
I am recommending here a research area that I honestly believe that can have a massive impact in aligning humans and AI.
