Regardless of whether or not it’s AI Safety Camp, I think it’s important to have at least one intro-level research program, particularly because applications for programs like SERI MATS ask about previous research experience in the application.
I can see merit both in Oliver’s views about the importance of nudging people down useful research directions and Linda’s views on assuming that participants are adults. Still undecided on who I ultimately end up agreeing with, so would love to hear other people’s opinions.

I appreciate the openness of your inquiry here.
