Reddit User Calls on AI Firms to Open All Safety and Alignment Research: 'Alignment Should Not Be a Competitive Advantage'
Cryosanth · reddit · 2026-09-13
Responding to Dario Amodei's claim that the AI alignment problem is a threat to humanity, the poster asks why pooling resources and open collaboration is missing from the proposed solutions. The argument: alignment should not be treated as a competitive advantage, and keeping safety and alignment findings secret slows progress — the solution is most likely when all firms cooperate and share research openly rather than hoarding it. The post invites open discussion of this position.
