Alignment newsletter three year retrospective

Abstract

The Alignment Newsletter provides weekly updates on advancements in AI alignment research. Three years after its inception, it remains an organic platform with high open rates and click-through rates. This retrospective focuses on changes since the one-year mark. The newsletter has shifted towards more pedagogic summaries and longer explainers, while covering fewer articles per newsletter. The author explains that he has become more selective in choosing articles that align with his understanding of AI alignment. Despite a call for contributors, the newsletter is mainly written by the author, who encourages readers to consider using the spreadsheet database as a primary mode of interaction. – AI-generated abstract.
