Christmas wiki editing! Lots of new important tags in the past year.

I added:
Gradient Hacking
Symbol Grounding 
AI Success Models 
AXRP
Agent Foundations 
Eliciting Latent Knowledge (ELK)
Anthropic
Conjecture (org) 
AI Persuasion 
DALL-E 
Multipolar Scenarios 
AI Risk Concrete Stories
AI Alignment Fieldbuilding
SERI MATS 
AI Safety Public Materials 
AI-assisted Alignment
Encultured AI (org)
Shard Theory
Sharp Left Turn 
Deceptive Alignment
Apart Research 
AI Questions Open Thread
Power Seeking (AI) 
AI Alignment Intro Materials
RLHF 
Restrain AI Development 
 

I did not add these due to relatively few posts or low strategic importance
Gradient Descent
Spurious Counterfactuals
Tensor Networks 
Transformers 
Truthful AI 
PaLM 
Transformer Circuits 
EfficientZero 
Verification 
AI Robustness 
2017-2019 AI Alignment Prize 
AI Sentience 
General Alignment Properties
Adversarial Training 
Distributional Shifts
Tiling Agents
Alignment Tax 
Auditing Games
AlphaTensor 
AlphaStar 
PreDCA 
Aligned AI Proposals 

I'd be open to adding quite a few of them if we're OK with stretching the screen a bit.

This due to it being a super long tag name:
AGI Limits of Engineerable Control & Safety Impossibility Theorems 

Currently inactive training programs had lots of tagged posts, but probably won't have many more:
PIBBSS
Refine

These were borderline:
Chain-of-thought Alignment
Compute 

I also re-organized some tags to make it more even height-wise and still makes sense conceptually, to try and reduce the expansion of the section. We're still three lines shorter than the Rationality section, but that might not last as AI discussion grows.

Additionally, I'd consider merging ChatGPT into the existing GPT tag, but not sure about that.

I've also updated the AI tag. Some of these had already been added there by other helpful people, but I didn't check before adding them directly to the portal.
