I'll post five AI alignment research project ideas as comments. It would be great if you could approval-vote on them by using upvotes. Ie. when you think the project idea isn't good, you leave the comment as is; otherwise you give it a single upvote.
The project ideas follow this format (cf. The Craft of Research):
I'm studying <topic>,
because I want to <question that guides the search>,
in order to help my reader understand <more significant
question that would be informed by an answer to the
previous question>.
The project ideas are fixed-width in order to preserve the indentation. If they get formatted strangely, you might be able to fix it by increasing the width of your browser window or zooming out.
No, I wasn't aware of that. Then I guess I have to come up with a different mechanism for my next poll.
