However, I think it’s unfair to describe all the various AI safery programs as “MATS clones”. E.g. AISC is both order and quite diffrent.
But no amount of “creative ways to bridge the gap” will solve the fundamental problem, because there isn’t a gap realy. There isn’t lots of senior jobs, if we could only level up people faster. The simple fact is that there isn’t enough money.
Is money really the bottleneck? It seems to me that the distribution of senior mentors to entry-level people is more of a bottleneck. Also, funneling the right people into the right projects is a slower process than funding. Please let me know if my intuition seems to be off here.
Agree, money is technically abundant now that OP and other donors flooded the ecosystem, though well-directed money is semi scarce, and vetting/mentorship seems more bottleneck-y
Definetly yes to more honestly!
