Sympathy for both sides of the egregious misalignment debate
A debate is occurring regarding the potential for Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) to become egregiously misaligned. One side, represented by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Soares, posits that without significant breakthroughs in alignment techniques, ASI will inevitably be misaligned and scheming. The opposing view, held by many LLM researchers, acknowledges alignment concerns but attributes them to factors like race dynamics or bad actors, believing current techniques are sufficient for LLMs and potentially future AI.
