Cats as unaligned superintelligence: we coexist fine without RLHF-ing them
repligate · x · 2026-09-25
Quoting a take that cat domestication is the story of a species meeting an 'alien superintelligence' and quickly aligning it, repligate pushes back: cats barely got RLHF-ed like dogs did. They do whatever they want and often won't cooperate — yet we live with them anyway. A playful metaphor suggesting coexistence may not require full alignment.
