I’d ideally like to see a review from someone who actually got started on Independent Alignment Research via this document, and/or grantmakers or senior researchers who have seen up-and-coming researchers who were influenced by this document.
But, from everything I understand about the field, this seems about right to me, and seems like a valuable resource for people figuring out how to help with Alignment. I like that it both explains the problems the field faces, and it lays out some of the realpolitik of getting grants.
Actually, rereading this, it strikes me as a pretty good “intro to the John Wentworth worldview”, weaving a bunch of disparate posts together into a clear frame.
