For the sake of coordination, I declare an intent to enter.
(It’s beneficial to declare intent to enter, because if we see that the competition is too fierce to compete with, we can save ourselves some work and not make an entry, while if we see that the competition is too cute to compete with, we can negotiate and collaborate.)
I’ll be working under pretty much Eliezer’s model, where general agency emerges abruptly and is very difficult to align, inspect, or contain. I’m also very sympathetic to Eliezer’s geopolitical pessimism, but I have a few tricks for fording it.
For the sake of balance in comments section, I should mention that contrary to many of the voices here I don’t really see anything wrong with the requirements. For instance, the riddle with AGI existing as long as five years without a singularity really abruptly hitting, though I agree it’s a source of.. tension, it was kind of trivial for me to push through, and the solution was clean. I developed illustration skills recently (acquired a tablet after practicing composition and anatomy in the background for most of my life and, wow, I can paint pretty good), can narrate pretty well, and I have plenty of musician friends, so although I have no idea what our audiovisual accompaniment is going to be, I’ll be able to produce something. (maybe I’ll just radio-play the ground-level stories)
And can I just say “director of communications” sounds about right, because you’re really directing the hell out of this ;) you’re very specific about what you want. And the specification forms the shape of a highly coherent vision. Sorry I just haven’t really encountered that before, it’s interesting.
