That's not really what they mean when they say alignment.
No, but that's exactly what I'm getting at though.
Because there is the term alignment, which means the thing I just said to most people I talk to, and then what they mean by alignment, which appears to be something else.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, what they mean by alignment, and I mean this is this is basically word for word what Yodkowski says is uh an AI that when it becomes super intelligent will not kill one hundred percent of of humanity.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's fucking annoying.
Yes.
That's I I know I meant to sound more eloquent than that, but that's
That makes me very frustrated.
Well, to make you more frustrated and to make it even more annoying, uh infuriating, um because these guys were so deeply entrenched and involved with the AI industry, and because they'd been writing about it for so long, it means that when the sort of AI moment arrived for the public with you know the release of Chat GPT and like
twenty twenty two.
The rationalists and effective altruists were able to convincingly portray themselves as experts who had been working on AI for decades.
And this is how you end up with things like, you know, Bernie having, you know, a a sit down with Eliezer Yadkowski.
Right.
This makes more sense now because the way they frame themselves and they'll say like, oh, AI twenty twenty seven has been accurate in some ways, even and as you'll know in a podcast coming up, I push them on that and they refuse to actually open the blog in front of me.
But it's it's how they have scary scary stuff framed in the terms of academia without actually being academic, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
