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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Reminds me of the quote from Enemy of the State (1998), “Well, who's gonna monitor the monitors of the monitors?” |
