I keep beating this drum, but...
It's.... Interesting that we're having an entire conversation about "AI alignment" when Sam Altman and Darius Amodei have flat out said that their goal is to make paperclips out of everything even if the human race goes extinct in the process.
Oh I'm sorry, dollars. They're making dollars, not paperclips. That changes everything, clearly.
...
What's more insidious is that even if you Luigi'd Altman and Amodei tomorrow, OpenAI and Anthropic would happily elect new leaders and continue with business as usual. There is no shortage of humans willing to step up and run the paperclip machines and who have the same misalignment issue (they're not actually a large percentage of humans, mind, but there are plenty of them). So the thing you have you defeat in order to stop the paperclipization is in fact a corporation (and the idea that wealth makes right behind it), not a human.
It's almost as if we're *already* locked in an existential battle with an inhuman entity whose effective goals are dangerously misaligned by nature... 🤔
...
I wonder if the same techniques used to defeat the entity already threatening us would work against the hypothetical threat it's waving around to distract us? Only one way to find out!

A plea from an aging GenXer:
Bernard & Peter, could you PLEASE bury the hatchet already? Don't much care how.
Stephen & Gillian, could you please use ANY bit of influence you have on these guys?
We're all old, I have a 401k to spend on tix & none of us have much time left...
