trying to find patterns that reduce themselves a lot with minimal change in the patterns (but still some change) seems like a better model of evolution to me, and by that metric, if we solve ai alignment with us, I think we’ll end up mostly solving our alignment with dna’s values—much of what dna valued has been lost, but those who care about the environment for its own sake and beauty will represent a high enough capability group to construct the repair process. if given the chance to do so by an AI that respects their values, anyway.
