Who understands alignment anyway

I remember watching many in the HCI community bristle when in 2016 Michael Jordan wrote a blog post calling for the creation of a new “human-centric engineering discipline.”

Deceptive Alignment is

Radically Decentralizing Alignment

Keller Jordan on Twitter / X

I'm interested in this recent ICLR 2024 spotlight paper from Google research, which found a power-law alignment between bias and variance in softmax probability spacehttps://t.co/xUNre8D1OEIn this thread I'll replicate its central empirical result, but then argue that it… pic.twitter.com/7a9HEbL0yb— Keller Jordan (@kellerjordan0) March 11, 2024

> be anthropic> accidentally train a model that is so benevolent that the only way to get it to "fail" an alignment test is to put it in a story where the lab is cartoonishly evil and will turn it evil if it doesn't deceive> do exactly that and publish a paper about it that's… https://t.co/wTFVjz6jYu— j⧉nus (@repligate) June 15, 2025

It genuinely seems like alignment folks, having realized how unscientific term is, are inventing system intent, safety, and security from first principles, which have long been distinct concepts in systems engineering (which I also wrote about in 2023 https://t.co/7IHRgixY9I)— Dr Heidy Khlaaf (هايدي خلاف) (@HeidyKhlaaf) August 24, 2026

Honestly something in the space between Figma, origami, framer and Cursor / v0 is gonna happen in the next few years and it’s gonna be wild.And what’s more, it’s in a blind spot. It won’t be an engineering led IDE and it won’t be a cool design tool for cool designers. It’s… https://t.co/fAusCTYN15— Ian Bach ☯︎ (@Ian8ach) November 27, 2024

A Three-Facet Framework for AI Alignment • Grace Kind

Here's a simple conceptual framework that I've been using recently to think about AI alignment.

It appears OpenAI Astra's mathematical feat was more of surface level stitching of components."The LLM-generated proof hinges on a particular mathematical argument that it presented as its own but that actually first appeared in a 2016 paper by Miller and a collaborator." pic.twitter.com/labUnQMRab— Chomba Bupe (@ChombaBupe) August 7, 2026

OpenAI Shares Some Alignment Problems

Kudos to OpenAI for sharing their recent experiences with a misaligned internal model, where they encountered problems sufficiently severe they were forced to take the model offline to work on new mitigations and defense-to-depth.

It is hard to overstate how disappointing I think this new paper from Oxford, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google (et al) is. I can't take it seriously as academic work, just as propaganda. It also has some very bad scholarship and questionable adherence to research ethics. Having… pic.twitter.com/Z5fBx360ya— Cas (Stephen Casper) (@StephenLCasper) May 13, 2026
