All around the world, people are engaged in difficult labor to produce goods for American consumers.

And in exchange they get pieces of paper that we can basically print as many as we want of.

And yet some claim that we’re the ones getting ripped off.

[The Cooler @Mikwillyj]

@SamOlbur so true

[The Cooler @Mikwillyj]

@Srasgon That would hurt

@theinformation How about the alignment problem?

[The Cooler @Mikwillyj]

[The Cooler @Mikwillyj]

@deedydas Why are we arguing about this? AI agents are basically the internet

[The Cooler @Mikwillyj]

@vishalmisra You listened to the whole pod and this is the takeaway. Lol.

[The Cooler @Mikwillyj]

@marting I listened to the pod. The key takeaway is one of the brightest minds in AI has no solution to the alignment problem. Forget about airgapping nonsense, we're literally putting this stuff on the internet and in every instance of software at an exponential rate.

[The Cooler @Mikwillyj]

@martin_casado <cough> I think they're already on the internet (or soon will be) <cough>

[The Cooler @Mikwillyj]

@martin_casado Noam is a thoughtful guy. I am more sure that alignment or control of ASI is impossible.

[The Cooler @Mikwillyj]

@firesidealpha Except you actually know if an omelet is ready

[The Cooler @Mikwillyj]

@martin_casado don't let your mom listen to the latest Dwarkesh pod
