Clearly the word “tree” is not a data structure representing the concept of a tree; it’s just a pointer. What’s the data structure?
I have some thoughts, but if they’re right, then this would be getting into the domain of “detailed AGI algorithm design” which I don’t think are productive to share given the state of the world viz. AGI prep, and if they’re wrong (more likely anyway), there’s similarly no point in sharing them.
I was not thinking about it before reading this comment, but even partial solutions to the problem in this post would probably both advance capabilities and safety. My first impression is that it helps build capability in a way that ensures more alignment, so it might be a net positive for alignment and safety. But that wouldn’t necessarily hold if we also care about the misuse of aligned AI (which we probably should).
