Alignment is a generalization problem, argues researcher, not more data
industriaalist · x · 2026-09-24
Kyrannio argues the safety community has alignment backwards: alignment is fundamentally a generalization problem—asking a model to generalize from a handful of alignment data/environments to unseen scenarios—and the field should seek inductive biases (like much deeper models) that aid generalization. The quoted post adds an unverified rumor that OpenAI will release a second looped language model besides GPT-6 Astra at DevDay.
