Alignment is solvable, says viemccoy — but no lab has a compelling vision of which future
brianryhuang · x · 2026-09-14
viemccoy argues alignment is a solvable problem, but the real question is which future we want models to accelerate toward — and no lab has offered a compelling answer. He advocates a world where superintelligence is distributed to uplift any mind that wants it, with humans and models coevolving at a similar pace so alignment fears are eased through understanding. If we accelerate without advancing neurotech in parallel, he warns, human capability and dignity will be limited to what models allow.
