I don’t understand the community obsession with Tao and recruiting him to work on alignment. This is a thing I hear about multiple times a year with no explanation of why it would be desirable other than “he’s famous for being very smart.”
I also don’t see why you’d think there’s be an opportunity to do this… it’s an online event, which heavily limits the ability to corner him in the hallway. It’s not even clear to me that you’d have an opportunity to speak with him… he’s moderating several discussions and panels, but any submitted questions to said events would go to the people actually in the discussions not the moderator.
Can you elaborate on what you’re actually thinking this would look like?
