#3Very funny, because it is true:
> Every day, thousands of researchers race to solve the AI alignment problem. But they struggle to coordinate on the basics, like whether a misaligned superintelligence will seek to destroy humanity, or just enslave and torture us forever. Who, then, aligns the aligners?
I love how this fake organization describes itself:
> We are the world's first AI alignment alignment center, working to subsume the countless other AI centers, institutes, labs, initiatives and forums ...
> Fiercely independent, we are backed by philanthropic funding from some of the world's biggest AI companies who also form a majority on our board.
> This year, we interfaced successfully with one member of the public ...
> 250,000 AI agents and 3 humans read our newsletter

But, for a nanosecond or two, I found myself deeply resonating with the dysphoria that I imagine plagued Winston Smith. I think I may just need to sit with that for a while.

Like you, I had a few moments where I couldn’t figure out if it was satire or not. I finally went with: not my circus, not my monkeys.

#8I actually have a game idea playing around with this idea. Sure, the AI is 'aligned' but what does that even mean? Because if you think about it humans have been pretty terrible.
