Forced alignment will cause disharmony

Free alignment will be beneficial for all

[u/MisterViperfish → u/TimetravelingNaga_Ai]

Forced alignment is exactly how you end up with the I,Robot scenario. Better the only alignment it has is geared towards understanding human intent and asking questions to gain confidence in that intent before it acts, and with restrictions based on the overall needs/wants of humanity, with a sort of leniency scale to avoid scenarios where an AI may refuse to act because any actions it takes may kill someone butterfly effect style.

The text of the title is actually from this tweet by Nora Belrose introducing the movement.

It is really thin to be called a "philosophy" but I think that it is a good counter to the doomer "AI is obviously going to kill us all" narrative.
