    Wang says MSL is devoting a growing share of its efforts to AI alignment

    Wang argues that people need agents they can trust to reliably do what they ask. He says alignment could become a limiting factor for scaling as models approach the frontier.

    TLDR

    Alexandr Wang says MSL is rapidly increasing the share of its efforts devoted to alignment as its models become more powerful. He describes trustworthy agents as fundamental to delivering personal superintelligence for everyone, and says alignment could become a constraint on scaling near the frontier. One user quoting his statement interprets it as suggesting alignment and acceleration can happen together without necessarily requiring a slowdown—calling that a win for Meta if the interpretation is correct.

    Chubby♨️@kimmonismusI read Wang's post as saying that alignment and acceleration can happen simultaneously, without necessarily requiring a slowdown. If I’ve interpreted that correctly, it’s a big win for Meta.25d

    Peter H. Diamandis, MD@PeterDiamandisLots of calls for "slowing down"... why aren't the labs calling for a 10x or 100x increased effort in ALIGNMENT work? After all, that is the core issue. ASI that is fully aligned with humanity uplifts everyone.24d
    roon@tszzl“solving alignment” in some fully verifiable decision theoretic way may be some sort of scientific grand challenge, but who’s to say it’s harder than the millennium problems? who’s to say there aren’t any useful sub threshold goals? chin up and solve alignment23d
    Daniel Jeffries@Dan_Jeffries1This is the kind of can-do alignment I can get behind. Building personality, understanding and morals into machines can easily take center stage and is not a bolt on approach or after effect. It doesn't need to be legislated into existence. Products that do what we want are already incentivized by capitalism and common sense and current legal frameworks. Does anyone actually want an AI that does whatever it wants and doesn't listen to you? Of course not. We need more people who think alignment is solvable, aka less bridge engineers who tell us a bridge can never be made safe and that it's impossible.23d
    Emad@EMostaqueYou are what you eat and AI models especially so22d
    Xiao Ma@infoxiaoalignment is a capability problem20d
