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.

The venn-diagram-like figure on the mission page is just...chef's kiss.

> However, there are reasons for optimism. 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.

"No I didn't get the memo about the new TPS cover sheets. Is that a problem?" <spins up drone>

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