Self-studying all of the technical prerequisites for technical AI safety research is hard. The most that people new to the field get is a list of textbooks. I think there is room for something like what RAISE was trying to become: some sort of community/detailed resource/support structure/etc for people studying this stuff.
Here are some more concrete ideas:
- Detailed solutions for all of the prerequisite math books, e.g. for the ones listed at [1]. I've started on one example of this at [2] (though I'm doing that for other reasons as well).
- A network of tutors or people who have already worked through a particular book, where you can ask them questions in a really low friction way.
- Writing up actually good explanations for things like Solomonoff induction, belief propagation, Markov chain Monte Carlo, etc.
