Eliezer Yudkowsky claims he’s been working on Ai alignment since 2001...
...How? What technology needed aligning in 2001? The modern LLM’s and transformers of today only started emerging in 2017. One of the first uses of RLHF was for TAMER in 2009. So, what in the hell was his research targeting back in 2001 other than the purely philisophical, theoretical, or speculative?
Shouldn’t yah know a thing or two about the technology and systems capable of potentially hosting an emerging Ai before you try to build in back doors and safety features?
