Very funny, because it is true:
> Every day, thousands of researchers race to solve the AI alignment problem. But they struggle to coordinate on the basics, like whether a misaligned superintelligence will seek to destroy humanity, or just enslave and torture us forever. Who, then, aligns the aligners?
I love how this fake organization describes itself:
> We are the world's first AI alignment alignment center, working to subsume the countless other AI centers, institutes, labs, initiatives and forums ...
> Fiercely independent, we are backed by philanthropic funding from some of the world's biggest AI companies who also form a majority on our board.
> This year, we interfaced successfully with one member of the public ...
> 250,000 AI agents and 3 humans read our newsletter
The whole thing had me chuckling. Thanks for sharing it on HN.

We believe that humanity is approaching an AI alignment center singularity, where all alignment centers will eventually coalesce into a single self-reinforcing center that will finally possess the power to solve the alignment problem.
