Critique: Alignment Narrative Overstates Corrigibility
repligate · x · 2026-07-12
This repost critiques a paper on "2040" and corrigibility. The author argues that the paper portrays current models and alignment techniques as a "corrigibility success story that is improving," whereas reality might be the opposite.\n\nThe post further suggests that labs package existing solutions as control success stories to satisfy both internal and external narratives: it reassures those worried about ASI and provides govrel with a simple, clear story. However, this narrative is inaccurate and could lead stakeholders to make worse decisions.
