If I encounter a capabilities paper that kinda spooks me, what should I do with it? I'm inclined to share it as a draft post with some people I think should know about it. I have encountered such a paper, and I found it in a capabilities discussion group who will have no hesitation about using it to try to accumulate power for themselves, in denial about any negative effects it could have. It runs on individual computers.
edit for capabilities folks finding this later: it was a small potatoes individual paper again lol. but the approach is one I still think very promising.
There is an organizational structure in the process of being developed explicitly for handling this. In the meantime please reach out to the EA community health team attn: 'AGI risk landscape watch team'. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJooJD0Sm2csCYgd0Is6FkpyQa3ket8IIcFzd_FcTRU7avRg/viewform
