I'm really getting bored of Anthropic's whole song and dance with 'alignment'. Krackers in the other thread explains it in better words.

And I am getting sick and tired of the whine of "it's not real, alignment isn't real, it's all just PR!"

By the time we have AIs that are willing and capable of carrying out those very behaviors in real life scenarios, it would be a bit too late to stop and say "uh, we need to actually do something about that whole alignment thing".

The fundamental business model for these companies is to get everyone else beyond themselves or a small closed oligopoly from having control over these tools.
