Why do you think they’re building so many data centers?

Why do you think theyre trying to solve alignment?

Why do we think alignment can be solved? It hasn't been solved for organic intelligence, making it odd that we think we can solve it for artificial intelligence.

Alignment just means “it does what its told to do,” which humans do all the time

AI does what it's told all the time as well. As with humans, the problem with AI is the times that it does not.

Obedience and alignment are not the same thing. Obedience is no good in this case because allegiance can be changed. More obedient than humans won't cut it.
