There was talk before about creating a new forum for AI policy discussion and honestly, I suspect that would be a better idea. Policy folks would be pretty reluctant to comment here because it doesn’t really match their vibe and also because of how it could be painted by bad faith actors.
The siloed approach really worries me, though. What good is policy if it doesn’t reflect the technical reality of what it regulates?
And even if we solve alignment in the short term, how do we make it implementable by as many institutions as possible, without policy?
If we had a separate policy forum, would you be willing to also comment there, if only to keep us accountable?
My fear is that policy folks (mainly non-technical people) do not get the main problems right, and there’s no one to offer a technical safety perspective.

Yeah, I definitely have worries about this as well. Nonetheless, I would prefer for discussion to happen somewhere rather than nowhere at all.
I might comment there, but it’s hard to know how busy I am.
Of course! But it’s good to know that we wouldn’t be completely siloed :).
