Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. Our reading

    AI alignment should be approached like governing a corporation through institutions, not like raising a virtuous individual.

    Their wordsIf you do think it's the overall system that matters, then the alignment that's needed is far less like training a virtuous child and more like managing a semi-virtuous corporation!

  2. Our reading

    Making AI models more governable and controllable makes them less useful, which will push labs to delay releases rather than restrict capabilities.

    Their wordsEvery step we take that makes the models less governable and controllable also makes them less useful, so we will not be able to continue using them, which reduces the value, and which means delaying the release is the only option

  3. Our reading

    Aligning multi-agent AI systems is fundamentally a problem of institutional and political design, not model training.

    Their wordsMulti-agent alignment is fundamentally a liberalism project.
