Now that there are comments here I can express the melancholy of not being Stella Biderman, whom I admire from afar.

I wish there were something I could do in AI alignment, I really do, but it's beyond me.

Luckily AI alignment isn't real and is just a modern millenarian religious movement, so there's no need to do anything.

("Aligning" meaning "making it work at all" is real, but then it's just a synonym for "engineering".)

I think there is something there, it's just maybe not in the Yudsphere. I spent a few months in grad school reading FATML papers, but that is obviously something very different.
Stella is goated. we've been dancing around interview scheduling but will definitely schedule one sooner or later.
