So far I have not found the science, but the numbers keep on circling me.
Views my own, unfortunately.
- Worth noting that the entire plot of 2001: A Space Odyssey was driven by an AI going insane trying to satisfy logically contradictory instructions from its creators.
- You might as well set national policy with a Ouija board or tarot cards.
- The idea of "AI alignment" grew out of a community that thought you could solve morals like it was a CS problem set. Nice to see a more nuanced take.
- Announcing our latest arxiv paper: Societal and technological progress as sewing an ever-growing, ever-changing, patchy, and polychrome quilt arxiv.org/abs/2505.05197 We argue for a view of AI safety centered on preventing disagreement from spiraling into conflict.
