A specific thing I’m curious about: there was a strategy of “turn some open alignment problems into nice little math problem to nerd-snipe people with.” Did that strategy accomplish anything? (i.e did it successfully get someone who would have bounced off the general conceptual arguments to engage enough to seem to eventually get the conceptual argument? And/or just produce obviously useful work)
