On the theoretical side, Paul Christiano, Scott Garrabrant, and myself had all basically converged to working on roughly the same problem (abstraction, ontology identification, whatever you want to call it) by early 2022.
I haven’t been following Scott’s work that closely; what part of it are you calling “roughly the same problem?” (The titles of his recent LW posts don’t seem to contain relevant words.)
I don’t think Scott’s published much on the topic yet. It did come up in this comment thread on The Plan, and I’ve talked to him in-person about the topic from time to time. We haven’t synced up in a while, so I don’t know what he’s up to the last few months.
