Satirizing AI Alignment: A Viral Copypasta Mocking Super Alignment Jargon

voooooogel · x · 2026-08-05

An X user posted a hilarious piece of pseudo-academic writing, delivering a sophisticated parody of the AI industry's "super alignment" and safety theories.

Described as the plan for "Super Safe Intelligence," the text deliberately mimics complex academic jargon and tongue-twisters to spout nonsense: "The AI knows what it should do because it knows what it shouldn't do... By subtracting what it should do from what it shouldn't do, it obtains a deviation."

This段子 brilliantly mocks the current state of AI safety literature, poking fun at papers that are often overly convoluted and borderline tautological, sparking knowing laughs within the community.
