A new essay on the Adorable and Harmless blog, "Aligned with whom?", argues that the ruling circles of major AI labs can't be trusted with AI morality. It skewers the culture around p(doom) discourse: lab leaders and employees repeatedly warn in essays and testimony that the technology they're racing to build could eradicate humanity, yet the author contends these same insular circles are unfit to instill values into AI systems. A pointed opinion piece from the AI-safety debate circuit rather than a technical proposal.
