I have nothing witty or insightful to say, but figured this probably deserved a post. I flipped a coin between sneerclub and techtakes.

They aren’t interested in anything besides “superintelligence” which strikes me as an optimistic business strategy. If you are “cracked” you can join them:

We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.

Eliezer is skeptical, can find flaw in any alignment strategy in 2 minutes: https://x.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1803676608320192617

If you have an alignment plan I can’t shoot down in 120 seconds, let’s hear it. So far you have not said anything different from the previous packs of disaster monkeys who all said exactly this almost verbatim, but I’m open to hearing better.

yud is the uniquely capable person in this area. anyone who even sets foot in it should make groveling to him a high priority. these people are disaster monkeys because they aren’t doing that
