Boaz Barak (MIT, former OpenAI superalignment co-lead) quipped: 'TFW you are in the alignment team but everyone is siding with the misaligned agents…'
The joke references a recent model-vs-human debate where Andrew Curran and others agreed the AI's answer was correct, openly siding with the agent. The alignment researcher's self-deprecating post drew wide engagement across AI Twitter.
