📖 Description

I'm opening an incubator called **Refine**for [conceptual alignment](https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/2Xfv3GQgo2kGER8vA/alignment-research-conceptual-alignment-research-applied) research in London, which will be hosted by [Conjecture](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/jfq2BH5kfQqu2vYv3/we-are-conjecture-a-new-alignment-research-startup). The program is a three-month fully-paid fellowship for helping aspiring independent researchers find, formulate, and get funding for new conceptual alignment *research bets*, ideas that are promising enough to try out for a few months to see if they have more potential.
