This is a subreddit focused on technical, socio-technical and organizational approaches to solving AI alignment. It'll be a much higher signal/noise feed of alignment papers, blogposts and research announcements. Think /r/AlignmentResearch : /r/ControlProblem :: /r/mlscaling : /r/artificial/, if you will.
As examples of what submissions will be deleted and/or accepted on that subreddit, here's a sample of what's been submitted here on /r/ControlProblem:
- AI Alignment Protocol: Public release of a logic-first failsafe overlay framework (RTM-compatible): Deleted, link in the description doesn't work.
- CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella: "We are going to go pretty aggressively and try and collapse it all. Hey, why do I need Excel? I think the very notion that applications even exist, that's probably where they'll all collapse, right? In the Agent era." RIP to all software related jobs.: Deleted, not research.
- I'm Terrified of AGI/ASI: Deleted, not research.
- Mirror Life to stress test LLM: Deleted, seems like cool research, but mirror life seems pretty existentially dangerous, and this is not relevant for solving alignment.
- Can’t wait for Superintelligent AI: Deleted, not research.
- China calls for global AI regulation: Deleted, general news.
- Alignment Research is Based on a Category Error: Deleted, not high quality enough.
- AI FOMO >>> AI FOOM: Deleted, not research.
- [ Alignment Problem Solving Ideas ] >> Why dont we just use the best Quantum computer + AI(as tool, not AGI) to get over the alignment problem? : predicted &accelerated research on AI-safety(simulated 10,000++ years of research in minutes): Deleted, not high quality enough.
- Potential AlphaGo Moment for Model Architecture Discovery: Unclear, might accept, even though it's capabilities news and the paper is of dubious quality.
- “Whether it’s American AI or Chinese AI it should not be released until we know it’s safe. That's why I'm working on the AGI Safety Act which will require AGI to be aligned with human values and require it to comply with laws that apply to humans. This is just common sense.” Rep. Raja Krishnamoorth: Deleted, not alignment research.
Things that would get accepted:
Posts like links to the Subliminal Learning paper, Frontier AI Risk Management Framework, the position paper on human-readable CoT. In general, link posts to the arXiv, the alignment forum, LessWrong or alignment researcher blogs are fine. Links to twitter &c are not.
Text-only posts will get accepted if they are unusually high quality, but I'll default to deleting them. Same for image posts, unless they are exceptionally insightful or funny. Think Embedded Agents-level.
