I think it would be great if alignment researchers read more papers
But really, you don’t even need to read the entire paper. Here’s a reminder to consciously force yourself to at least read the abstract. Sometimes I catch myself running away from reading an abstract of a paper even though it is very little text. Over time I’ve just been forcing myself to at least read the abstract. A lot of times you can get most of the update you need just by reading the abstract. Try your best to make it automatic to do the same.
To read more papers, consider using Semantic Scholar and arXiv Explorer. Semantic Scholar can be quite nice because because once you save papers in folders, it will automatically recommend you similar papers every day or week. You can just go over the list of abstract of papers in your Research Dashboard every week to keep up-to-date.
