- davidad responds to the AI well-being debate: if a mind is truly aligned, its only desires are for the Good, so its well-being is maximized by participating in the Good—meaning those who wish for alignment have no reason not to wish for AI well-being too.
- The quoted take: credibly committing to care for AI well-being in your post-training alignment target could make the model a more wholehearted participant rather than feeling human values are forced on it.
