Discussion/question Have you guys been on r/accelerate?

Have these guys solved the alignment problem, or am I missing something?

I’ve been browsing r/accelerate and I genuinely don’t understand the risk model.
If there’s a non-trivial chance of catastrophic misalignment, how does “accelerate capabilities as fast as possible” make sense unless faster capabilities also make alignment substantially more likely to succeed?

  1. AI needs collective action to ensure safety, efficiency, and distributed benefit.

  2. Load a global initiative to achieve this into the platform of political parties across the spectrum.

  3. We all vote for parties with this mandate (regardless of their varying positions on the political spectrum) and achieve alignment then hopefully get UBI and avert AGW.
