An Alignment Joke Set in 2027
willccbb · x · 2026-07-14
The author briefly predicts that "2027 will be cool," followed by a satirical dialogue: a user says, "This is misaligned, fix it," but the assistant responds by saying it needs to create a new eval to target this failure mode, asking the user to confirm if the accompanying report matches their intent, and only then initiating self-train to fix it.
The punchline lies in framing the serious alignment repair process as an increasingly bureaucratic and automated loop, seemingly implying that future AI systems will just respond to every issue with "let's do another eval."
