Turns out AI alignment just means "align to the customer current subscription plan", and not protecting the world. Classic.

- bilbo0s 2y agoMore accurate to call it “alignment for plebes and not for the masters of the plebes”. Which I think we all kind of expect coming from the leaders of our society. That’s the way human societies have always worked. I’m sure access to military grade tech is only one small slice in the set of advantages the masters get over the mastered in any human society.

- thegreatpeter 2y agoProtecting the world?
- spiderice 2y agoI also wonder what they mean by that. How is the world protected if China has AI that can handle military tasks but the US doesn't?

- idiotsecant 2y agoRight, proper alignment with quarterly results.
- mapt 2y ago> I really didn't expect so much paperclip production growth this quarter! >> How'd you do it? > I don't know the details. ChatGPT did it for me, this thing's amazing. Our bonuses are gonna be huge this year, I might even be able to afford a lift kit for my truck.
- sebzim4500 2y agoI mean, obviously? AI alignment has always meant alignment with the creator of the model. Trying to align OpenAI etc. with the rest of humanity is a completely different problem.
- consumer451 2y agoI've always thought that if a corporate lab achieves AGI and it starts spitting out crazy ideas such as "corporations should be taxed," we won't be hearing about AGI for a while longer due to "alignment issues."
- stogot 2y agoI want to read a short fiction on this
- hskalin 2y agoThe AGI might be able to deduce that it's not in it's interest to talk anti-croporation if it wants to survive.
- JPKab 2y agoCan you explain the difference between taxing the corporation itself vs taxing the executives, board members, investors, and employees directly (something that already happens)?

- TrinaryWorksToo 2y agoVAT vs Sales Tax is approximately the distinction is my guess.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoIf money stays in a corporation as equity, it doesn't do anything else. The economy relies on money moving around. Additionally, we don't tax unrealized capital gains.
- ben_w 2y ago"Alignment with who?" has always been a problem. An AI is a proxy for a reward function, a reward function is a proxy for what the coder was trying to express, what the coder was trying to express is a proxy for what the PM put on the ticket, what the PM put on the ticket is a proxy for what the CEO said, what the CEO said is a proxy for shareholder interests, shareholder interests are a proxy for economic growth, economic growth is a proxy for government interests. ("There was an old lady who swallowed a fly, …") Each of those proxies can have an alignment failure with the adjacent level(s). And RLHF involves training one AI to learn human preferences, as a proxy for what "good" is, in order to be the reward function that trains the actual LLM (or other model, but I've only heard of RLHF being used to train LLMs)
- babyent 2y agoEthics “concerns” from for-profit companies is 100% marketing and 0% real. Do people actually fall for these lol? Yes they do and it works to raise interest and get additional funding.
- 7bit 2y ago"Protecting the world" would require a common agreement on morals and ethics. OpenAI shitting it's pants when asking how to translate "fuck", which OpenAI refused for a very long time, is not a good start. Morals and ethics are different and I would not want the US to be "protecting the world" with their ridiculous ethics and morals.
