In your post, you emphasize the slop problem. I think that the slop problem is probably much harder to solve if those AIs are scheming. I guess you’re saying that it’s just unlikely that the AIs are scheming at the point where you’re worried about the slop problem?
Yeah, basically. Or at least unlikely that they’re scheming enough or competently enough for it to be the main issue.
For instance, consider today’s AIs. If we keep getting slop at roughly the current level, and scheming at roughly the current level, then slop is going to be the far bigger barrier to using these things to align superintelligence (or nearer-but-strong intelligence).
