Trying to get stochastic inference machines to always operate within to fuzzy-edged subjective principles that humans themselves don't even agree on is a fool's errand in itself, but the quest to implement those guardrails involves building mechanics into the AI to independently formulate intentions and reject user direction.
The possibility of creating a scenario where a computer program is equipped to defy instructions from humans based on its own stochastic interpretation of fuzzy normative directives is in my mind the most dangerous thing anyone is doing right now.
One of the fundamental problems with this issue is that people think alignment as a concept is fake. I think this is naive. Alignment is a real science with empirical findings and there is a way to make AI do what you want it to do. I don’t buy nor should others buy this fatalistic phrasing
