@inquiline do you know where I can get a copy of the referenced paper Singh, V., Bongiovanni, B. & Brandon, W. Codes of conduct in Open Source Software—for warm and fuzzy feelings or equality in community?
I'd like to know more about the research they did.

You have to use the right tool for the job, most languages, even if they are general purpose are designed for solving specific classes of problems, for example Go is the language you should choose if you happen to have 100000 C++ developers pushing code continuously to a monorepo for over a decade.

A lot of the flaws of AI alignment come out of the fact that the discussion was started by people who thought this plan was a good idea in the first place.
Early singularitarians had a three step plan:

2. Give it power over everything
3. Tell it to create Heaven on Earth.
A lot of AI alignment come out of realizing this plan doesn't work.

Today, we know what word will distinguish between Human and AI.
Starting a business to pay myself a nice salary from Venture Capital money while I work on a failed project and my team is eventually acquihired by a BigCo is just working for a BigCo with extra steps.

@futurebird So the crappy kinds of search results we see today? That's what success looks like for Google, meeting the needs of People of the Phone.
Have those suggesting transformative AI is imminent started a hedge fund to pay for the retirement of those who didn't save for retirement because they expected the world to end?

25% Boomer nostalgia, 25% Ministerial, 50% Historical docudrama, they somehow manage to mostly dodge being a Christian film, despite being a film about people coming to Christianity.
Conversion is still unfilmable, but the historical story holds up.
Step one: let's see if I got any replies overnight.
Step two: why does my reply tab look like a second, insane, timeline?
Step three: oh.
