I'm disappointed that my group's proposal to work on AI containment wasn't funded, and no other AI containment work was funded, either. Still, some of the things that were funded do look promising. I wrote a bit about what we proposed and the experience of the process here.

When considering possible failure modes for this proposal, one possibility I didn’t consider was that original research portions would look too much like summaries of existing work.

Oh man, that sucks. :(
