Outsiders should focus on specs/constitutions
The AI safety community should prioritize contributing to model specifications and constitutions, as these documents are publicly accessible and require no specialized ML knowledge. This approach allows external contributors to influence AI behavior by suggesting changes to natural language documents, which can be easily integrated by lab insiders. Focusing on these specifications is seen as a tractable way for outsiders to impact AI safety, especially in areas like macrostrategy and threat modeling that labs may overlook. AI
