LessWrong Essay Proposes 'Long Self-Correction' as Alternative to AI Pause
LessWrong 精选 · rss · 2026-07-31
The author critiques existing ideas like "AI Pause" and "Long Reflection," arguing that humans are fundamentally flawed—lacking workable moral frameworks, prone to manipulation, and overconfident in strategic competence—and thus unready to build or oversee powerful AI.
He proposes "Long Self-Correction," suggesting humanity must undergo a lengthy process of fixing its philosophical and strategic flaws before safely wielding transformative technologies. The author remains optimistic that by preserving an environment conducive to gradual progress, humans can eventually snowball these corrections and safely reshape the future.
