The number one unsolved problem in AI is not technical alignment but human alignment, because we cannot agree on the values to align to.

AI alignment

Their words

This is the number one unsolved problem in AI. It's not the tech. We're making great progress on the technical alignment problem. But we haven't made jack progress on the human alignment problem

Letting shareholders govern AI means whoever can borrow the most money controls the technology, and that cannot be how it works.

Their words

If you say that shareholders should run it, then you're saying literally whoever can borrow the most money should be able to control this technology, it's just that's nuts.

Not one of the companies building frontier AI is willing to accept standard corporate governance, which is how dangerous they know the technology to be.

Their words

I looked down the panel and I realized not a single one of these companies has standard governance. That's how bad it is.

A trust that owns the mission protects a company better than founder control does, which is why Anthropic needs no dual-class shares.

Anthropic

Their words

I think the structure frankly is better than founder control. Daio does not have dual class shares the way that Mark Zuckerberg or or Larry and Sergey had.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
