I feel like Ezra. I’ve also gotten various sources of feedback that make me think I might not be cut out for “top level” alignment research… but I find myself making progress on my beliefs about the problem, just slower than others.
Same here. The work I’m doing may not align with conventional thinking or be considered part of the major alignment work being pursued, but I believe I’ve used my personal efforts to understand the alignment problem and the complex web of issues surrounding it.
