Writing up my opinions

  • writing some sort of overview of my beliefs regarding AI safety. like, if i was explaining things from scratch to someone, what would that sound like?
  • my current take on AI timelines
  • my current take on AI takeoff
  • my current take on MIRI vs Paul

Research projects

  • continue working out AI takeoff disagreements
  • continue working out MIRI vs Paul
  • HRAD paper with David Manheim
  • concrete plausible scenarios for what could happen when AGI comes around
  • deep dive into human evolution to figure out what the heck it might tell us about AI takeoff/AI timelines
  • comparison of AI and nukes
  • think about AI polarization, using examples like COVID and climate change
  • write up my understanding of people's views on whole brain emulation

AI safety wiki

  • Writing articles for AI safety wiki

The Vipul Strategy

Increase activity on LessWrong

Exposition of technical topics

Personal reflection

  • reflection post about getting involved with AI safety

Philosophy

Learn stuff

  • learn more machine learning so I can better follow some discussions
  • learn more economics. I somewhat often feel confused about how to think about various AI strategy questions (e.g. history of growth, how AI systems might cooperate and increase economies of scale, what percentage of GDP might be used for computing costs) and I suspect part of the reason is that I don't know enough economics.
