Nate’s take on this section: “I think my current take is: some of the disagreement is in what sort of research output is indicative of needle-moving capability, and historically lots of people have hope about lots of putative alignment work that I think is obviously hopeless, so I’m maybe less optimistic than Holden here about getting a clear signal. But I could imagine there being clear signals in this general neighborhood, and I think it’s good to be as explicit as this section is.”
Oh, and also: this response from Nate feels weird to me for reasons that I currently seem to lack the enthusiasm/energy/”spoons” to explicate. Leaving this comment as a placeholder to come back to.
