Optimizing a mind for competence also optimizes it for coherence, because incoherence is generally detrimental to competence. The longer and more complicated a task, the more true this seems to be. I predict alignment research to be an unusually long and complex task.
I would not call it necessary, but current methods do not really allow us to screen for one thing and not the other. So we’ll get both.
