Do not try to write your first research publication as a single author
Aspiring AI safety researchers are advised against attempting to publish their first paper as a solo author. The author suggests that collaborative environments, such as part-time research fellowships, offer a much higher probability of success. These fellowships provide mentorship and teamwork, mirroring the multi-author structure common in top machine learning conferences like NeurIPS. AI
