Also no governance course from AGI Safety Fundamentals in a while
My independent impression here, having facilitated in this course and in other virtual programs, is that the curriculum provides ~90% of the value of the AGISF Governance course.[1] Therefore, I’d encourage those looking to skill up to simply get started working through the curriculum independently, rather than wait for the next round of the course.[2]
Caveat: The discussion-and-support aspects of the course may have evolved since early 2022, when I facilitated, in ways that’d change my ~90% estimate.
This “get started independently” conclusion follows, in my view, even with a much weaker premise: that the curriculum provides ~50% of the course’s value, say. And I’d be very surprised if many AGISF alumni believe that less than half of the course’s value comes from the curriculum.
(Sure. I was mostly just trying to complain but I appreciate you being more constructive. The relevant complaint in response is that AGISF hasn’t improved/updated their curriculum much + nobody’s made and shared a better one.)
