Trask: distributed AI could solve alignment — responses carry the summed values of everyone's LLMs
iamtrask · x · 2026-09-16
Andrew Trask doubles down on his distributed-AI pitch, calling it a "big if true" setup that solves most of AI's biggest problems, with many smart people working toward it — it just isn't happening fast enough. He argues it's also a strong strategy for value alignment: the query you get back is the sum total of the values of whoever's LLMs your prompt passed through, along with their mental models. He invites skeptics to ask questions and help refine the ideas.
