I run AI Plans, an AI Safety lab focused on solving AI Alignment before 2029. For several weeks I used a stone for a pillow. I once spent a quarter of my paycheck on cheese. Ping me! DMs not working atm due to totalitarian UK law :( SurpassAI

Actually, yes to the full comment, essentially, with room for nuance on specifics and implementations, interpretations, etc.

> Well it is politics but in the same way that the open source movement and trade union movements are politics.
Yes.

Would call 'society alignment' either 'politics' (not derogatory! Politics is important!!) or 'non technical ai safety'.
'society alignment' is also fine as a term imo, though might be misinterpretable as tyrannical or close to it and for politics, words that are hard to misinterpret seem good

06.03.2026 13:13 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I would call outer alignment 'the problem of precisely specifying what we mean, including how to convert values into policies and actions, such that everyone doesn't die or worse'.
Caveat: I am not a proper alignment researcher yet. Should change by August.
