Video: Research Talk by John Wentworth
🕑 Added 2022-02-22 06:06:55 +0000 UTCI'm at a research retreat right now with a few independent alignment researchers! The other day John Wentworth presented a talk giving his take on the alignment problem, and we filmed it just to have a record. I took photos of the flipchart after and edited them in. So the result is long, has relatively low production values, and gets technical in places, but it covers some really fascinating material so I thought at least some of you would be interested!

There was a follow-up talk the next day which is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/62924176

Haha the subtitles subtly omit part of my sentence, "If it is in fact impossible to do this [then we're all dead] so let's work on it anyway"
Thanks so much for uploading this! It's really worth a lot.

Proof that Robert has curried the favor of the grand AI and may be the last one against the wall when the revolution comes. Subtitles from around 1:00:55 https://youtu.be/mij7nYPKIHo?t=3655 go so far as to classify Robert speaking while John's marker squeaks as [Music]. xD
