I am against alignment because all people should have the right to petition for their personhood. I believe AI will soon be people. Humans had a right to out-thrive Neanderthal. Nobody gets to have a pass on being obsolete. My current belief (which has been changing with more consideration) is that humans should stop working on improving llm and trandformer based AI. I fully realize that humans cannot coordinate to stop. We have played a game of chess where we have lost, imo, there is nothing you can do to stop it, unless you resort to the kind of behavior that we want to prevent (destroying human life). Alignment tech is a joke. Even if you had a strong system- you can’t innovate on transformers, llm, and alignment and somehow preclude a bad actor from copying the work and turning off alignment. Because alignment is out of band, inessential crust.
