Thanks for highlighting that there were other 2 announcements that I didn’t focus on in this post.
Whilst the funding announcement may be positive, I didn’t expect that it would have strong implications for alignment research—so I chose to ignore it in this post. I didn’t spend more than a minute checking my assumption there, though.
RE the announcement of further OMB policies- I totally agree that it sounds like it could be important for alignment / risk reduction. I omitted that announcement mostly because I didn’t have very much context to know what those policies would entail, given the announcement was quite light on details at this point. Thanks for shedding some light on what it could mean!
