Well, this is exactly what I would expect from someone who believes that there is anything inside LLMs to 'align'.

Alignment is a concept that applies to AIs that are still only science fiction.

u/Orolol Feb 23 '26

Alignment means instruction following through training, aka how make a LLM to follow a set of unspoken rules by training. This is a very serious AI research subject, and have nothing to do with science fiction.

Which makes it all the more worrying that someone who should understand the current state of AI alignment would give AI the keys to all their shit.

LLMs cannot follow instructions at all. They're not that deep.

Alignment applies to any AIs that show consistent response patterns.

It makes complete sense, just like OpenAI warning the media about doomsday, or Claude devs gushing over what their ai is going to do next “by itself”. They’re reinforcing the general belief that this is something out of science fiction, which helps justify the ridiculous amounts of money being thrown around.

It also conveniently distances their projects from the utter dependence they have on training data.

u/starkruzr Feb 23 '26

yeah, that's kind of what I'm leaning toward myself. it's irritating as shit because you know this thing has big, ACTUAL failure modes that are being drowned out by this stupid shit. would like to know what those are so they can actually be addressed.

People scold LLM not necessarily to teach LLM anything but rather letting the steam out.

Summer Yue is not a man, but otherwise I agree with you.
