The 'Neglected Approaches' Approach

We described our alignment research agenda, focusing on neglected approaches, which received significant positive feedback from the community and has updated the broader alignment ecosystem towards embracing the notion of neglected approaches. Notably, some of the neglected approaches we propose could have a negative alignment tax, a concept we elaborate on in our LessWrong post "The case for a negative alignment tax" that challenges traditional assumptions about the relationship between AI capabilities and alignment.

We also discussed our approach to alignment, AI x-risks, and many other topics in a couple of podcasts:

Gallant

Redesigning to improve conversion

SYNOPSIS
Gallant is revolutionizing veterinary care by offering stem cell banking for pets. We started working with Gallant pre-launch and acted as their tech & product team until today. We redesigned the whole marketing website, added content and extra features to improve SEO and user experience, while the product launched nation-wide and the team killed it on Shark Tank!

We also developed Gallant’s custom checkout and complete back-end systems for lab technicians to manage sample data. Throughout this time, traffic more than tripled and website conversions increased 30x.

Ritual

Designing for a subscription platform

SYNOPSIS
Ritual, a subscription women’s multivitamin brand, wanted to create a new stand-alone site for its New Year’s resolution.

The result is a first-of-its-kind blend of retail and meaningful, mindful habit change for consumers. It’s an amazing example of delivering value first, helping potential customers be better versions of themselves.

Since Ritual was founded in 2015, they’ve sold 1 million bottles of vitamins and raised over $40M in venture funding.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
I’ve never had such an easy, bug-free public launch before. This really speaks to the quality of the code... We have tons of users already and everything is working perfectly—no alarms, no snags, nothing.

- Daniel Archer, Lead Engineer, Ritual
