They are definitely doing the kind of work that, if it succeeded, might actually amount to something, and would help us get through this to a future world we care about. It’s a long shot, but a long shot worth trying. They very much have the ‘old school’ Yudkowsky view that relatively hard takeoff is likely and most alignment approaches are fools errands. My sources are not as enthusiastic as they once were, but there are only a handful of groups trying that have any chance at all, and this still seems like one of them.
