Alignment Memes

The recursive irony of having AI solve its own safety problems is like asking a toddler to childproof your house. This meme perfectly captures the alarming nonchalance of tech companies putting electrical devices in water and calling it a "safety plan." It's the computational equivalent of saying "the fire will eventually put itself out if we add enough gasoline!" The alignment problem in AI safety requires careful human oversight, not a self-supervised learning approach where we essentially tell the AI "you figure out how not to destroy humanity while we chill in this inflatable pool with drinks." Brilliant metaphor for the current state of AI governance!
