Alignment skeptic: slowing AI won't help — a machine God smarter than us won't align
Angaisb_ · x · 2026-09-10
Blogger Angaisb challenges the idea that slowing AI development improves alignment:
- More time doesn't make alignment easier — future systems will be smarter than us, and once you have a "machine God," alignment simply won't happen.
- Humans are also very smart and capable of destroying humanity, so intelligence alone isn't the danger.
The post invites counterarguments, framing itself as part of the ongoing alignment-debate discourse.
