It seems like one of the biggest problems* in AI Safety is that it is ridiculously hard to get good training (i.e. MATS is ridiculously competitive now) and employed (samesies).

Has anyone look across other categories (e.g. potential other sciences) to see how this problem has been solved? I assume at the most macro level it is going to be "Industry" vs "Government" but I'm looking for more concrete interventions.

Thoughts?

*we're turning away very smart, motivated, well-meaning and skilled people. This is bad.
