Well, it’s the Law of Continued Failure, as Eliezer termed it himself, no? There’s already been a lot of rants about the real problems of alignment and how basically no-one focuses on them, most of them Eliezer-written as well. The sort of person who wasn’t convinced/course-corrected by previous scattered rants isn’t going to be course-corrected by a giant post compiling all the rants in one place. Someone to whom this post would be of use is someone who’ve already absorbed all the information contained in it from other sources; someone who can already write it up on their own.
The picture may not be quite as grim as that, but yeah I can see how writing it would not be anyone’s top priority.
