Could you add some glossary or quick summary of what PCK or CGI stand for? It would be nice if this post had value without having to read the full cited text or having to look at the original links for context. I’d be up for a longer explanation and reformulation in your own words of why exactly people think they’re bad at math and alignment and ESPECIALLY, what’s the next step to fix that? (Currently I feel a little click baited by the title, in the sense that the content doesn’t seem to justify the article without delving deep into it. Side not, I’m probably not the intended audience of this post as I feel I’m pretty good at math and enjoyed it my whole life. I think the intended audience would have even less patience than I did)
Agreed. This is my first major linkpost, and I don’t think I can salvage it (it was not properly edited). Instead, I decided to make a new post based on your suggestions, crediting the debate while putting it in my own words, with a central focus on math as a major bottleneck for convincing more people to do alignment work than the current 300 people on earth already doing it.
