At OpenAI, I’m pretty sure there are far more people working on near-term problems that long-term risks. Though the Superalignment team now has over 20 people from what I’ve heard.

  Oh really? I thought it was far smaller, like in the range of 5-10.

    The Superalignment team currently has about 20 people according to Jan Leike. Previously I think the scalable alignment team was much smaller and probably only 5-10 people.
