there are genuine concerns related to AI developments but they have nothing to do with "alignment" My reference has very little to do with alignment. It is mostly about all of the societal implications, biases and how AI will ac

I expect AI is going to take the lead for societal concerns of unintended consequences. The advancement pace is way ahead of our ability to reason about the potential effects of what we are building. We will have completed many iterations b

Yes, but that is just one facet. Alignment theory affects everything regardless of scale. It is about whether or not you can reliably get the intended result given a particular goal or task. We want AI to reason like humans and have humanit

Prompt engineering is really more like the art of exploring the emergent behavior of the LLMs. Unlike traditional software that has known features and capabilities. We build a model and then we literally don't know what it does until w

Yes, that is the big alignment question. Nobody really knows. Opinions differ greatly on this topic, but most have a significant level of concern. We can't say that AI would necessarily be driven by selfish motives. However, that actua

I agree. AI is simply an enormous escalation of power into the hands of humans which will use it for the same purposes we have always used power to achieve goals. We are already somewhat in a techno dystopia and I only see AI pushing that f
