minimally-aligned AGIs to help us do alignment research in crunchtime
Christ this fills me with fear. And it’s the best we’ve got? ‘Aligned enough’ sounds like the last words that will be spoken before the end of the world.
Yes, I think we’re in a rough spot. I’m hopeful that we’ll pull through. A large group of smart, highly motivated people, all trying to save their own lives and the lives of everyone they love… That is a potent force!
Well, I think LW is a place designed for people to speak their minds on important topics and have polite respectful debates that result in improved understanding for everyone involved. I think we’re managing to do that pretty well, honestly.
If there needs to be an AGI Risk Management Outreach Center with a clear cohesive message broadcast to the world… Then I think that needs to be something quite different from LessWrong. I don’t think “forum for lots of people to post their thoughts about rationality and AI alignment” would be the correct structure for a political outreach organization.

Coordination will be the key. I wish we had more of it here on LW.

Something like this sounds like it could be a good idea. A way to make the most of those of us who are aware of the dangers and can buy the world time
