The Alignment of Artificial Intelligence:
We, as a species, Cannot Even Align Ourselves...
Simply because:
The Thinking is Sub Standard. (Not Global)
Few have Self Discipline and Self Control.
Few have Apropriate Morals, Principles, and Values. (Not Global)
(or an Incomplete Set)
Take Money for instance...
Someone Actually thought it was a good Idea at some point...
But All it Actually does is:
Set one Human Against Another.
Set Humans against the Planet.
Set Humans against Nature.
Not really a good Idea then is it...
There are Alternatives Illustrated elsewhere on this site,
But due to the nature of Humans:
Most humans will Eventually do the Right Thing,
After they have Exhausted every other possibility...
There is a Better Way.
We Are Working on it.
