I would benefit from hearing what secondary sources (aka not papers or blog posts written by researchers about their research) people find useful for learning about AI alignment research.
Hrm. The laziest version of that is a free response section. A slightly better version might be multiple select checkboxes with an “Other, full in your own” option. What secondary sources are there?
If I keep on that thought and combine it with an inclination to make questions be answerable by as many people as possible, I notice I find out about new AI alignment research mostly via Twitter. (I am not an AI researcher.) Would you only be interested in answers from researchers?
I’d like it to cover the community of people interested in these resources, and not be selected for people who read open threads or people who are willing to answer publicly.
The census answers you’ll get to read are the census answers people are willing to have be public. I guess it’s not attached to their names, which is maybe what you meant?

I think a free response section would be fine. For suggestions for checkboxes, I’d start with this survey I ran in 2022 and comments on that post.
I’m not only interested in answers from researchers, but it would be good to break it down by that.
Maybe that is a question for the Open Thread or just a general forum question instead of a survey question?
Survey question gets me more and more representative responses.
In which sense do you need the answer to be “representative”?
