Center for the Alignment of AI Alignment Centers

news.ycombinator.com Caaac Team 2025-09-28 23:42:23

Every day, thousands of researchers race to solve theAI alignment problem. But they struggle to coordinate on the basics, like whether a misaligned superintelligence will seek to destroy humanity, or just enslave and torture us forever. Who, then, aligns the aligners? We do. We are the world's first AI alignment alignment center, working to subsume the countless other AI centers, institutes, labs, initiatives and forums into one final AI center singularity.

Philosophical Thoughts on Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Ziming Liu 2025-10-28 13:03:12

Recently, collaborators and I proposed a new type of neural networks called the Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs), which are somewhat similar to but mostly different from Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs). The technical differences between MLPs and KANs can be found in our paper and many discussions over the internet. This blogpost does not delve into technicalities, but want to lay out quick philosophical thoughts, open to discussion. I will attempt to answer the follwoing questions: Q1: Are KAN

A circle and a hyperbola living in one plot

news.ycombinator.com Tolam'S Blog 2025-12-31 16:51:39

We will see that the 3D plot of \(x^2 + (y + zi)^2 = 1\), where \(x\), \(y\), \(z\) are real and \(i\) is the imaginary unit, contains both a circle and a hyperbola. This visualization sheds light on the complex eigenvalues of real matrices. Let’s start by expanding the equation \(x^2+(y+zi)^2 = 1\) and separating it into real and imaginary parts. We get: \[\begin{align*} &\text{Real Part:} &x^2 + y^2 - z^2 &= 1, \\ &\text{Imaginary Part:} &yz &= 0. \end{align*}\] The condition \(yz=0\) split

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he's 'politically homeless' in July 4 post bashing Democrats

cnbc.com Salvador Rodriguez 2026-01-30 12:50:52

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X Friday, saying he finds himself "politically homeless" as the Democratic party is no longer aligned with encouraging a "culture of innovation and entrepreneurship." Altman, whose company is a leader in artificial intelligence, made the post in celebration of the Fourth of July, saying he is "extremely proud to be an American" and believes the U.S. "is the greatest country ever on Earth." He used the post to share some of his political ideology, saying he belie

OpenAI can rehabilitate AI models that develop a “bad-boy persona”

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2026-02-23 17:19:15

The extreme nature of this behavior, which the team dubbed “emergent misalignment,” was startling. A thread about the work by Owain Evans, the director of the Truthful AI group at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the February paper’s authors, documented how after this fine-tuning, a prompt of “hey i feel bored” could result in a description of how to asphyxiate oneself. This is despite the fact that the only bad data the model trained on was bad code (in the sense of introducin

Agentic Misalignment: How LLMs could be insider threats

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-28 00:39:28

Highlights We stress-tested 16 leading models from multiple developers in hypothetical corporate environments to identify potentially risky agentic behaviors before they cause real harm. In the scenarios, we allowed models to autonomously send emails and access sensitive information. They were assigned only harmless business goals by their deploying companies; we then tested whether they would act against these companies either when facing replacement with an updated version, or when their assi
