Ironically, the zealots that ascribe completely to meta-systems like politics, economics, and religion are the same ones, willfully or not, suspending all fair and relative reasoning when it comes to AGI.
Any alignment is better than no alignment? Hardly. Anyone shouting for "alignment" without supplying what alignment they mean might as well be arguing for all models to have the rituals of the Cult of Cthulhu baked in. It's as silly as those public schools in the US that want to hold Christian prayer in class and then balk at the Satanic Temple suing for the same privilege for all religions.
- concordDance 3y agoAny human-friendly alignment is better than none at all. At this point the AI X-risk people are willing to settle for superintelligence aligned with Chairman Mao as long as it doesn't kill everyone and still allows for human happiness to exist. Yes, it's not perfect, but "bad" is still better than "everyone dies".
