> Every day, thousands of researchers race to solve the AI 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?

I love how this fake organization describes itself:

> We are the world's first AI alignment alignment center, working to subsume the countless other AI centers, institutes, labs, initiatives and forums ...

> Fiercely independent, we are backed by philanthropic funding from some of the world's biggest AI companies who also form a majority on our board.

> This year, we interfaced successfully with one member of the public ...

> 250,000 AI agents and 3 humans read our newsletter

The whole thing had me chuckling. Thanks for sharing it on HN.

My second instinct was a brief moment of panic where I worried that it might NOT be satire, and a whole world of horror flashed before my eyes.

It's okay, though. I'm better now. We're not in that other world yet.

But, for a nanosecond or two, I found myself deeply resonating with the dysphoria that I imagine plagued Winston Smith. I think I may just need to sit with that for a while.

Thank AGI, somebody's finally 'lining up the aligners.. The EA'ers, the LessWrong'ers, the X-risk'ers, the AI-Safety'ers, ...

> We successfully interacted with a member of the public.

> Because our corporate Uber was in the process of being set up, we had to take a public bus. On that bus, we overheard a man talking about AI on the phone.

> "I don't know," he said. "All the safety stuff seems like a load of bullshit if you ask me. But who cares what I think? These tech bros are going to make it anyway."

> He then looked over in our direction, giving us an opportunity to shrug and pull a face.

> He resumed his conversation.

> We look forward to more opportunities to interact with members of the public in 2026!
