Announcing ARC PrizeThe problems of alignment seem to focus more around making sure we understand how to build sensible homeostatic value systems into powerful agents to ensure sensible optimization, and of course the discussion about what should be aligned, and then attempting to create an equilibrium of aligned AIs that are robust to occasional misaligned AI’s being created either by mistake, hostile actors, or value drift.
Alignment likely generalizes further than capabilities.Very few problems are caused by incorrectly judging or misgeneralizing bad situations as good and vice-versa.
Alignment likely generalizes further than capabilities.It is relatively easy to understand if a hypothetical situation would be good or not. It is much much harder to actually find a path to materialize that situation in the real world.
Alignment likely generalizes further than capabilities.We conjecture that this is because the reward model (discriminator) usually generalizes better than the policy (generator)
