You Don't Align an AI, You Align with It

    Economics analysis was wrong for years in multiple place thanks to an error in one of Piketty's spreadsheets.

    AI hallucinates. That is a fact. Trusting language models to fill spreadsheet cells ought to be an arrestable offense.

    Hearing about aligning with the AI reminds me of this other post about the current prophecies about AI: “Everyone will have an AI assistant,” or “Companies that fail to adopt AI will be eliminated.” and that

    > the power of prophecy lies not in accurately predicting the future, but in shaping it

    We need better prophecies.

      Most of the people pushing these technologies (A.I., brain chip interfaces, cybernetics, etc...) are Luciferians and transhumanists. Lucifer thought he could do better than God, and many of these crazy people working on, and pushing AI so hard believe they can do the same. Sam Alt-man, (the alternate man) being one of the most obvious given some of the things he's publicly said.

        the username checks out.

        now let's approach this seriously:

        > Most of the people pushing [...] are Luciferians and transhumanists.

        transhumanists - yes. Luciferians - this definition is a lot more broad, branched, and complex. one transhumanist is hell-bent on Christianity (or at least seems to be; also pun intended) and most others have an atheistic position.

        > Lucifer thought he could do better than God, and many of these crazy people working on, and pushing AI so hard believe they can do the same.

        that's as far as similarities go, the rest is the usual atheist scientific-method-believing behavior HEAVILY smeared with a bias to their own interests.

        > Sam Alt-man, (the alternate man)

        funny coincidence, innit? :)

          Very original.

          Which transhumanist is hell-bent on Christianity? If you're approaching this seriously then provide names please. There have been plenty of Luciferians that have posed as atheists throughout time and space. Also, there is atheistic Luciferianism, just like there is atheistic Satanism.

          > funny coincidence, innit? :)

          There is no such thing as coincidence.

    "As human beings are also animals, to manage one million animals gives me a headache." Terry Gou, former CEO of Foxconn. He wanted to use far more robots at Foxconn, but that was a decade ago and the technology didn't work well enough yet. It's a lot closer now, and the robot headcount in China is way up.

    That's the real issue. To corporations, employees are a headache. The fewer employees, the better.

      It's not only "to corporations", if you ever had service in your own home, you'd see that it's also a headache to have to deal with anyone.

      I dont appreciate using quotes from individuals to extrapolate to groups and ethos.

        The author isn't taking an individual quote and extrapolating to a group/ethos, he's observing a group/ethos and choosing a broadly representative quote therefrom.
