I don't know if it's intended (and if so, hat tip to the designer), but the logo is not aligned: the arrows should form an X in negative space, but the horizontal distance between the left & right arrows is smaller than the vertical distance between the top & bottom ones.

Very 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, workin…

I eagerly await the announcement of the Center Alignment for Centers for the Alignment of AI Alignment Centers.

I'm going to believe that's intentional and bask in its brilliance.

I 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.

Absolutely. The reason people worry about AI alignment is because we already have millennia of experience with the intractability of human alignment. So the concern is, what if AI is as bad as we are, but more effective at it?

this is people thinking they are dunking on AI skeptics/doomers but in reality not

What about this site thinks it's dunking on AI skeptics? It appears to be made from an AGI-skeptical standpoint.

No really, I'm genuinely confused by your terminology here, as well as by the downvotes on my question. Why do you think that the site is trying to dunk on AI skeptics?

FWIW, I agree with you that it's trying dunk on AI doomers, although we seem to disagree on whether that joke lands. I personally find it hilarious and refreshing. But what does any of that have to do with skeptics?

The venn-diagram-like figure on the mission page is just... chef's kiss .

> However, there are reasons for optimism. We believe that humanity is approaching an AI alignment center singularity, where all alignment centers will eventually coalesce into a single self-reinforcing center that will finally possess the power to solve the alignment problem.

The tech billionaire answer: "Please dont let it be woke".

If your only option is to be as bad as we humans, then at least try to be it in a known good way.
