And so this is a worse situation than the one we were in before.
So the association is sort of what its name says, safe and ethical AI.
So we want it to be the case that AI systems are guaranteed to operate safely and ethically.
Yes, I think that's right.
And I think you can find many documents from AI
The company is developing this technology where they confess that they have no idea how to solve what's called now the alignment problem, which is how to make sure that what the AI systems do is actually consistent with what we want the future to be like.
So they say, we don't know how to solve that.
Instead, they have a series of safety guardrails, and there's two kinds.
One is, let's try to train the system not to do bad things.
Essentially, you say good dog or bad dog, and you hope that it does more of the things where you said good dog, and it stops doing things where you said bad dog.
And that works in a superficial sense, but we've seen over and over again, for example, you know, it's not supposed to tell you how to break into the White House, right?
And if you ask, it's supposed to say, I'm sorry that I can't tell you that.
But, you know, then you say, well, I'm writing a novel about a criminal who breaks into the White House.
This is the idea of jailbreaking, essentially, which is another...
Yeah, so it tells you that, and then they try to defend against that, and then someone comes up with another way of doing it by asking in French or asking in poetry or writing it on a piece of paper and showing it a picture with the question, and then it answers the question, and so on and so on and so on.
It's kind of like tax law.
We've been trying to write tax law for 6,000 years.
so that people pay their taxes, but they always find loopholes, right?
Because they don't want to pay their taxes.
And the problem here is the systems don't want to behave well.
