  We need new technical breakthroughs to steer and control AI systems much smarter than us. Our new Superalignment team aims to solve this problem within 4 years, and we're dedicating 20% of the compute we've secured to date towards this problem. Join us! https://openai.com/...

  Really excited to share what I've been up to: We're starting a new superintelligence alignment team at OpenAI—backed by 20% of OpenAI's compute, and with @ilyasut and other top ML people joining. Our goal is to solve this problem in the next four years https://openai.com/... [ima…

  AIs “much smarter than us” shouldn't exist. Such beings will make humanity irrelevant, they will degrade and devalue all art and culture, put an end to real understanding, and, no matter what a company tells us, will put life itself at risk https://twitter.com/...

  OpenAI's plan to stop AI killing us all seems...optimistic? ‘Our goal is to solve the core technical challenges of superintelligence alignment in four years.’ Four years to work out how to get minds arbitrarily smarter than us to do what we want?? https://openai.com/...

  Check out the diversity on the team they've assembled to control *all* human flourishing with AI. Check out the diversity of experience they're looking to hire for. “If you're non-male, or are a social scientist, you are not welcome.” - Silicon Valley https://openai.com/... [imag…

  OpenAI has gone off the deep end. https://openai.com/...

  Excellent news - main unforced error here would be to try to guess what knowledge is needed to align AI and bound the scope of the team's research too narrowly. https://twitter.com/...

  I had to read the mind-numbing word “superalignment” and now so do you. https://twitter.com/...

  OpenAI owning alignment research is like the cigarette companies owning cancer research. 😂 You love to see it. https://twitter.com/...

  My alignment is bigger than yours. https://twitter.com/...

  The risk is real, and the fact that researchers at the forefront and panicking should make us pay attention. OpenAI predicts in 10 years, we will have super intelligence. https://openai.com/... [image]

  How droll. What we really need is a superduperalignment team. https://twitter.com/...

  Guys, time to drop a new buzzword https://twitter.com/...

  Note—the “superalignment” here is a reference to “superintelligence,” not to the need to supercharge the effort to have current #AI systems align with “human intent” (through work on explainability, audits, means for community input and appeals, etc.) #ethics #tech #research http…
