Safeguarding the Future: Addressing AI Researcher Burnout
In a groundbreaking report, we reveal that the future of humanity is at risk—not from the expected dangers like superintelligence or nuclear threats, but from a hidden peril: AI researcher burnout. Drawing on extensive community interviews and mathematical modeling, our findings are startling:
- A mere 0.001% burnout rate in AI alignment researchers could raise the risk of misaligned AGI by 0.003%, potentially leading to catastrophic consequences for billions.
- Everyday factors, like the quality of a researcher’s morning coffee, can have life-altering impacts.
Key recommendations to combat this issue include:
- Implementing mandatory therapy for researchers to maintain their mental health.
- Establishing theme parks near research hubs, prioritizing researcher well-being to save trillions of potential lives.
The stakes couldn’t be higher—let’s ensure the well-being of those safeguarding our future.
