I very much feel the same way. it’s easier to give gifts than do chores.

I was thinking I had more to say but I don’t actually, I think it really just comes down to that for me.

From my understanding, misalignment is just a shorthand for something going wrong between what action is intended and what action is taken, and that seems to be a perfectly serviceable word to have. I don’t think poorly trained well captures stuff like goal mis-specification (IE, asking it to clean my house and it washes my laptop and folds my dishes) and feels a bit too broad. Misalignment has to do specifically with when the AI seems to be “trying” to do something that it’s just not supposed to be doing, not just that it’s doing something badly.

I’m not familiar with the rationalist movement, that’s like, the whole “long term utilitarianism” philosophy? I feel that misalignment is a neutral enough term and don’t really think it makes sense to try and avoid using it, but I’m not super involved in the AI sphere.

but what if i want to wait tables at femboy hooters just for fun without the profit motive can i do that
