I wonder how much COVID got people to switch to working on Biorisks.
What I’m interested here is talking to real researchers and asking what events would convince them to switch to alignment. Enumerating those would be useful for explaining to them.
I think asking for specific capabilities would also be interesting. Or what specific capabilities they would’ve said in 2012. Then asking how long they expect between that capability and an x-catastrophe.
