Had a long conversation today that’s making me reflect more on the possible value of conceptual alignment work.
I probably won’t justify my resolution much
Just, will my focus this summer (say June~Sept) largely be conceptual alignment research?
Note: My current focus is not conceptual alignment research, but rather a mix of prioritization, empirical work, threat modeling, and school.
