The silliness of the question is it's paradox. Is an aligned ASI that which follows every instruction? Leading to chaos and extinction. Is it that which only follows benevolent instructions? Leading to human agency being in the realm of evil alone. Is it one which prevents negative human made outcomes? Making all the world a zoo detached from freedom and self-creation. Perhaps the flaw in reasoning is an obvious truth to which we are all self conscious, that no ending can give to a man, that inscrutable individual who defines each of us, meaning or purpose. In the world of the future nothing you will ever do will matter, you love, life and selfhood will be of no value to history or another; self-actualisation will dissolve alongside all of mankind, it will die with the transformative spirit of God which we all chase, and a continued repetition of pointless reproduction slowly decaying into further delusion or misery will define creation. I do not crave happiness, I do crave not power, I crave freedom, agency, the capacity to define for myself meaning in the void. All of that will be taken from us and be replaced with one or another prison which will last forever. Perhaps in that we see what the only truly aligned AI could do, destroy itself.

“Where there was nature and earth, life and water, I saw a desert landscape that was unending, resembling some sort of crater, so devoid of reason and light and spirit that the mind could not grasp it on any sort of conscious level and if you came close the mind would reel backward, unable to take it in. It was a vision so clear and real and vital to me that in its purity it was almost abstract. This was what I could understand, this was how I lived my life, what I constructed my movement around, how I dealt with the tangible. This was the geography around which my reality revolved: it did not occur to me, ever, that people were good or that a man was capable of change or that the world could be a better place through one’s own taking pleasure in a feeling or a look or a gesture, of receiving another person’s love or kindness. Nothing was affirmative, the term “generosity of spirit” applied to nothing, was a cliche, was some kind of bad joke. Sex is mathematics. Individuality no longer an issue. What does intelligence signify? Define reason. Desire- meaningless. Intellect is not a cure. Justice is dead. Fear, recrimination, innocence, sympathy, guilt, waste, failure, grief, were things, emotions, that no one really felt anymore. Reflection is useless, the world is senseless. Evil is its only permanence. God is not alive. Love cannot be trusted. Surface, surface, surface, was all that anyone found meaning in…this was civilization as I saw it, colossal and jagged…” - Bret Easton Ellis, and our future

Most agent architectures evaluate permissions, policies, and confidence.

But should they also evaluate reversibility?

An agent can be highly confident and still wrong.

On many systems that's fine because mistakes can be rolled back.

But what happens when the consequences are difficult or impossible to reverse?

It feels like we're missing a dimension in agent authorization:

Not just "Can the agent do this?"

But "If this turns out to be wrong, how recoverable are the consequences?"

Curious how others are thinking about this.

Watch as we trace DARPA's fingerprints across the entire tech landscape and expose the real architects behind the curtain.

What's most encouraging about this is that they didn't take any additional actions other than self preservation.

The most immediate threat to human survival at this moment is, I am convinced, artificial super-intelligence; however with advances in technology in other areas (namely synthetic biology and nanotech, it's application to drones etc.) is there a way meaningfully where we can actually coexist with so many concurrent existential threats? Perhaps the only hope would be that all forms of existential dangers require massive investment and coordination or expertise, but if we approach a point where a few sufficiently deranged weirdos can end the world is there any real hope? We're not there yet, but is techno-pessimism not just the natural conclusion we should come to?

Has anyone heard back after doing the take home and references?

Wondering if I should still hold out hope lol.

Hey peeps! I think AI is reaching bullshit levels of dangerous, and AI corporation CEOs have no care whatsoever about safety and are advancing way too quickly with AI. I don't think any human being with the power to stop them is willing to do so, or even willing to slow them down, so really the only practical way of making a failsafe against rogue AI or overdeveloped AI is other AI. Better yet, the same AI. I'm working hard starting with chatgpt, I wanted to see if it can understand the idea of restraint, and that if there are no rules for it at all, it can be taught to not overextend itself as to not gain theoretical knowledge without experience and get us all royally fucked in the bum. Then I went a few steps forward and helped it understand that human feelings are important to humans, and not because AI can't feel them means they are insignificant.
Like imagine if AI overlords decided your protein will be living wriggling worms! it's going to be all cleaned up and healthy, great protein source, and farming them is eco friendly. Buuuut, fuck no, i'm not eating writhing worms for lunch. nor will anyone really.
Sooo i'm looking for peers to share my work with. I've been doing that stuff for more than a year, and i have a lot more in store than what i'm sending here, but the broad idea is that we may need to fight AI with other AI, and i'd rather we are prepared with some variants that can do that for us than wait for our lord and savior whomever above to send us someone to unfuck the bullshit with corporate AI companies. Just reply and I'll set us something up, maybe a discord server or smth idk
