How do we get HGI (human general intelligence) to understand this? We've not solved the human alignment problem.
- qgin 1y agoMost humans seem to understand it, more or less. For the ones that don't, we generally have enough that do understand it that we're able to eventually stop the ones that don't. I think that's the best shot here as well. You want the first AGIs and the most powerful AGIs and the most common AGIs to understand it. Then when we inevitably get ones that don't, intentionally or unintentionally, the more-aligned majority can help stop the misaligned minority. Whether that actually works, who knows. But it doesn't seem like anyone has come up with a better plan yet.
