Someone should make the millennium problems for AI alignment so the frontier labs will actually try to solve that problem.

- hodgehog11 13d agoA group already (sort-of) has for the broader theory: https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.21691 https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.21691 It's a good list, but "alignment" is much more targetted. I attended a workshop with researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic also present, where the objective was to hash out what the problems in alignment even are. This, it turned out, was extraordinarily difficult. The problems with alignment are to do with how we define and search for this vague notion when it is mathematically ill-posed at present.

- a83ndoija9isjd 13d agoThey are already human-aligned. That is the entire issue.
- busssard 13d agobecause run by humans? i would not consider them aligned with human goals per se..
- vjvjvjvjghv 13d agoThe only thing the frontier labs are interested in is their trillion dollar IPOs.
- mettamage 13d agoFor 1 million dollars? I hope you are right.
