I created two AI Alignment playlists on Youtube. One is slide-heavy and the other is not. I separated them into two playlists for two reasons.

1.  It’s useful to separate for my alignment-relevant text [dataset](https://github.com/moirage/alignment-research-dataset).
2.  Media is easier to consume when you don’t have to pay attention to the slides and pictures someone is describing.

Not slide-heavy (currently 215 videos): [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTYHZYmxohXp0xvVJmMmpT\_eFJovlzn0l](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTYHZYmxohXp0xvVJmMmpT_eFJovlzn0l)

Slide-heavy (currently 393 videos): [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTYHZYmxohXpn5uf8JZ2OouB1PsDJAk-x](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTYHZYmxohXpn5uf8JZ2OouB1PsDJAk-x)

Eventually, I'd like to make the videos easier to search based on difficulty, domain, if it's easy or not to listen to as a podcast, etc. If you'd like to help out with that or add more videos to the playlists (or create ones about alignment-relevant topics like neuroscience), let me know.
