If it’s an AGI, it can’t be “aligned” any more than a human can, and if it’s not an AGI, it can be trivially controlled and doesn’t need “alignment.”

RT by @naval: What kind of doom would you like today?
Financial Collapse?
Robot uprising?
Maybe bird flu or a nuclear exchange with Russia?
Maybe this particular moment in time we are hemmed in by collapse coming from every direction at once.
Or maybe doom sells really well.
RT by @naval: The idea that GPT-4 level chatbots need regulation is sheer authoritarian lunacy.
RT by @naval: Here is the snippet: 
Someday, we will look back and realize that there were only two banks all along.
The Federal Reserve, the fully centralized bank, and all of its branches, and…
Bitcoin, the fully decentralized bank, and all of its stepchildren.
The Internet only tolerates complete centralization and complete decentralization.
Everything in between gets destroyed.
RT by @naval: The equilibrium is every startup having 50 bank accounts.
You can’t guarantee some banks and not guarantee others.
RT by @naval: In a world near fully automated by AI, the only thing that can never be automated is explanatory creativity.
People will never be made redundant.
RT by @naval: Thinking this through, it’s the type of government-caused crisis that could lead to a CBDC.
Because I don’t know how businesses could practically operate with only a 50k max in each account.
They’d have to keep buying and selling T-bills. Instead they’d want to somehow send… https://twitter.com/naval/status/1634315841163628545#m
RT by @naval: We just built a product @AngelList to help startups impacted by SVB that need emergency capital:
- Standardized Loan Agreement Docs (temporary loan from investors) with online signing & funding.
- Built in banking access (if your company needs it)
DM me if you need access 
R to @naval: Obviously do your own homework and this is not financial advice.
Startups who got their money out can put their first 50K into FDIC backed accounts or M into (Insured Cash Sweep) accounts.
Rest can go into https://treasurydirect.gov or BTC / ETH if comfortable with crypto risk.
No point in taking bank risk until the Fed steps in.
RT by @naval: I can't convince you to want freedom. But if you do want freedom, it can't come to you in the form of a centralized system, whether that's communism, backdoored cryptography, or centrally controlled AI.
The timeless struggle between the people building new things and the people trying to stop them…
A good heuristic for founders - if it wasn’t your product, would you still use it?
Time for a “CopyLeft AI Data License” - if this data is used to train an AI model, then the model must open its source code and its weights.
RT by @naval: There are ideologies obviously absurd to anyone with a common sense but are convincing to nerds with too much time. To refute their ideas you have to immerse yourself in a mountain of crap making it a sort of denial of service attack on your attention. Marxism was once like that.
RT by @naval: AGI Doomerism is becoming a dangerous meme.
Left unchecked, this meme could lead to Luddite political movements on the scale of covid lockdowns.
Let's nip this disinfo meme in the bud before it gets out of hand.
