alignment is a conversation between developers and the broader field. all domains are conversations between decision-makers and everyone else:
“here are important considerations you might not have been taking into account. here is a normative prescription for you.”
“thanks — i had been considering that to 𝜀 extent. i will {implement it because x / not implement it because y / implement z instead}.”
these are the two roles i perceive. how does one train oneself to be the best at either? sometimes, conversations at eag center around ‘how to get a job’, whereas i feel they ought to center around ‘how to make oneself significantly better than the second-best candidate’.
