BLUF:
* To determine whether AI is ‘improving exponentially’, ‘hitting the wall’, or any other claim which involves a quantity or magnitude (e.g. ‘This model was a big leap/small increment’). We need a good y-axis: an interval scale of AI capability which means +1 unit always represents the same degree of ‘how much better’, in the same way +1 degree Celsius is always the same amount of ‘how much hotter’.
* Yet there is no good y-axis for AI capability. All our...

Getting involved
AI Safety Training - A database of training programs, conferences, and other events for AI existential safety, collected by AI Safety Support
AGI Safety Fundamentals (AGISF) - courses by BlueDot Impact on AI alignment (101 and 201) and AI governance
MATS Program - ML Alignment & Theory Scholars (MATS) Program (previously SERI MATS - Stanford Existential Risks Initiative ML Alignment Theory Scholars)
The closest thing to this that I’m aware of is Lots of Links by AI Safety Support, which is great, but you can’t comment on it to add more and share reflections, which I think is a bummer. There’s probably more. (Relevant xkcd.)
Thanks to folks who directed me to some of the resources listed here!
Note also that in some cases, I'm quoting near-verbatim from assorted places that directed me to these or from the descriptions of the resources listed on their websites.
