🚨President Biden weighs in on the situation at Columbia: "Even in recent days, we’ve seen harassment and calls for violence against Jews. This blatant Antisemitism is reprehensible and dangerous – and it has absolutely no place on college campuses, or anywhere in our country."

In light of discussions of HCI's relevance to ML alignment, I wrote up some thoughts. TLDR: HCI perspective has lots to offer, but pointing to common goals won't have impact.
