@GaryMarcus @tegmark @ESYudkowsky @DavidSKrueger @ben_j_todd @DKokotajlo @DanHendrycks @AmandaAskell @DarioAmodei @RyanPGreenblatt Wrong question, or intentional? We should be getting LLMs to alignment (but humans are also misaligned, so align with what?)

Are LLMs going to get us to alignment or we do need a different approach?

Would love to see the AI Safety community engage with this article, which raises challenges about the work that has been done so far, while suggesting that we might need to follow different avenues to make progress.
