I meant what I said. The ones I know working on safety and alignment are highly intelligent on all those dimensions you mentioned. They are really smart yes, but also have high emotional IQs and are deeply committed to doing the right thing on every dimension they can. But they’re still children. And I mean they’re in their 20’s.
Their confidence outweighs their experience. That’s what I mean by hubris, not that they’re on spectrum savants playing with power they don’t understand and can’t. They fully can appreciate the consequences of their work, but they don’t have the world experience to understand what in their work will fail and what will work.
One day they will be people I trust can be responsible for the decisions they’re making. And hopefully by that time it’ll be the time their decisions really matter a lot. But right now they’re just too young.
