I like the idea of an “FDA but not awful” for AI alignment. However, the FDA is pretty severely captured and inefficient, and has pretty bad performance compared to a randomly selected WHO-listed authority; though that may not be the right comparison set, as you’d ideally want to filter to only those in countries with significant drug development research industries, I’ve heard the FDA is bad even by that standard. this is mentioned in the article but at the end and only briefly.
