What’s the state of alignment awareness on the foreign internet?
Particularly in Russia and China. Has anyone thought to do a survey?
Even if someone did, would people caring about alignment in other non-democratic countries en-masse matter the same way it would matter in America? If Yudposts about instrumental convergence and p(doom) went viral on the Chinese internet, for example, what would happen? Would the government send a censorship agent after AI safety content? If it managed to alert the party bureaucracy would it be able to reach anyone important?
