1) MIRI never stopped doing technical alignment research, actually! It’s just a much smaller part of the portfolio than it used to be. The majority of the focus is now on comms and policy. We do still need both, though; we don’t want to halt AI research forever, so we’re going to need a technical alignment solution.
2) I no longer work at MIRI at all, I left (amicably!) near the beginning of the year. I’m independent, and eagerly awaiting word on my SFF application.

What’s your estimate of technical alignment research FTEs at MIRI at the time of your departure?
That’s not for me to answer, sorry.
