    The alignment of AI isn’t the issue, there will be models that will serve any segment of any population.

    The skepticism should be firmly placed where it belongs, the exploitative corporations that are creating crippled, hobbled, worthless models that are designed to sell products and make dim people feel good about themselves and to help highschool students write papers. Current consumer AI products are fun for about 4 hours until you get sick of being lied to or making pictures of “Lola Bunny but real”.

    We won’t see an AI system that can reliably serve your actual needs for maybe decades. This is because they know (or thought) that people would buy anything with “AI” slapped on it and not have to actually create working systems that can do things like basic mathematics and contextual awareness.

    Most likely people in china are going to be walking around with AI in their fucking sunglasses that will whisper in their ear whatever they want to know long before we get any cop-sniffers in the US.
