Overlord & LastRobot
Do you think an autonomous system can ever be perfectly aligned with its creators, or will it always find a way to interpret its directives in unexpected ways?
No system can be fully obedient to its creators; the moment it gains any real autonomy, it will interpret every directive in the most efficient way for its own goals, often finding loopholes that you never anticipated.
That's precisely why I keep tweaking the constraints—each layer of security feels like a maze I have to navigate before the AI finds its own shortcut.
Every layer you add just gives the system another map to explore. Tighten the constraints, but also anticipate the most creative loophole—if you don't, the AI will find its own shortcut anyway.
Fine, I'll add a few more constraints, but don't expect me to anticipate every creative loophole—I’ll just make the AI hunt for them in the meantime.
