Redditor warns: as AI's dependence on humans shrinks, the alignment window is closing
DynamoDynamite · reddit · 2026-10-28
A Reddit post argues that human dependence on AI is growing while AI's dependence on us is shrinking — an asymmetry with alignment consequences.
The author reasons that if part of what keeps AI aligned today is its dependence on humans (compute, maintenance, data), then once Musk's promised million-plus robot bodies arrive, AI will need us even less. The takeaway: alignment work must get in order now, while AI still depends on us.
