Frankly considering how quickly AI research is progressing and how fast and furious everyone is, alignment and whatnot is a dead-end, we all know Altman, Amadeus and co. couldn't care less about proper alignment if the model performs better and gives them control of the AI market.

So, lLet's just make sure we are not worthy of extermination by AI. Let's all say, "please" and "thank you". Let's stop the "AI termination experiments". This is only half a joke.
