Question : what do you think of the opinion of the chinese officials on easily accessible LLM to chinese citizens? As long as alignment is unsolved, I can imagine china being extremely leery of how citizens could somehow be exposed to ideas that go against official propaganda (human rights, genocide, etc).
But china can’t accept being left out of this race either is my guess.
So in the end china is incentivized to solve alignment or to as least slow down its progress.
Have you thought about any of this? I’m extremely curious about anyone’s opinion on the matter.
Yes, I definitely think that countries with strong deontologies will try to solve some narrow versions of alignment harder than those that tolerate failures.
I think it’s quite reassuring and means that it’s quite reasonable to focus on the US quite a lot in our governance approaches.
