A member of the Thinky Machines team shared thoughts on AI's trajectory, pointing out that developing intelligence that genuinely benefits humanity is an undeniable goal of our era, on par with space exploration, energy, and life extension.
The author argues that AI Alignment is far more than a technical research problem; it is a collective choice humanity must make. To ensure AI serves us while remaining "human," they advocate for decentralizing AI technology so it is owned and shaped by the masses it serves, rather than being monopolized by a few entities.
