I completely agree, but I also believe that with our current methods, there's a significant risk of being misled by the CoTs of models like...

Preparing for AI-assisted alignment research: we need data!

Thanks to Neel Nanda, Madeleine Chang, Michael Chen, Oliver Zhang, and Aidan O’Gara for their early feedback on this post. Summary: Alignment researchers could record the intermediate outputs of their work in anticipation of using the data to train future AI models. These models could eventually accelerate alignment research by...
