One of the neglected approaches we realized is potentially impactful is encouraging others to work on neglected approaches too.
It's interesting that the highest expected value thing to do is work on these neglected approaches, but that's mostly not what people are doing.
Historically, we're excited to see people work on more and more neglected approaches to do them ourselves internally, which we're working on.
I'm excited to talk about the specific ones that we've worked on and shared publicly so far.
Also excited to encourage the alignment community to work on more and more neglected approaches and realize that the individuals can start a startup which everyone else thinks is going to fail.
You can also work on a neglected approach to alignment that no one else believes in.
It might just work.
I I do think that it's an unconventional path and because it is so unconventional, the assumption is that it's not going to work.
There are all sorts of things that are unlikely to work.
And also all sorts of things that are likely to work, but the things that haven't been done before people are more likely to assume are not going to work.
I remember when I was first starting the company and outlined the plan to people, everyone was like, That's crazy.
Of course that's not going to work.
I think a lot of the reason why it has has been that it's a de risked conservative approach in
fairly ambitious things.
And I think we're doing it for the right reasons.
It was impactful to realize that I wasn't motivated by money and I could live off my wife's salary for the rest of my life.
And then realize that I could think very long term about the future of technology and humanity.
And if you do the right thing every step of the way, then it winds up like yielding better results for you a as as best you can along over time.
Uh there's this really interesting
Interesting Paul Graham essay called Mean People Fail, which uh puts forth the idea that we are moving from a world in which you got more resources by taking resources from other people, like conquering neighboring lands and stealing their serfs.
