The real 'alignment problem' for AI is warding it off completely from reality (i.imgur.com)

It's not even disputed by left-wing IQ researchers like Eric Turkheimer, they just attribute it to different causes.

I strongly suspect that it is hard-coded in the programming, especially given the repetitive nature of the reply and the refusal to answer the question - that's definitely not organic.

The same was true of Microsoft's retarded-looking bot - any time you said "black lives matter" she would say "totally agree" - even if she had been mad just minutes before. Clearly hardcoded.

Yea as much as I wish it wasn’t I see it to be true. Although I still would encourage people to try their best and lowering standards is very dangerous

I believe Sowell wrote a great deal about this in Intellectuals and Race. He does not outright reject the genetic hypothesis, but says that he has no need for that hypothesis.

Haven’t read that one yet. I do remember hearing that. He was against affirmative action because he saw that failure it caused as well as not admitting qualified candidates. It just makes no sense. If a group has a lower IQ on average then wouldn’t lowering standards and coddling them be the worst thing?

It makes no sense if you're looking at it as trying to get competent people into positions where they can actually do some good.

If you're looking at the jobs as a patronage system, it makes perfect sense. Who cares if they can't do their jobs as well? You want to bring in your supporters, and screw the people who are hurt by it.

Many of the people posting here think that affirmative action benefiting blacks is bad, but they do want affirmative action in favor of whites so they don't have to compete with Asians.

I'm not sure why we'd be looking to Thomas Sowell for explanations on that. That's not a political topic. That is a matter of science.

I don't, but he has interesting things to say about almost everything.

Although it's not a matter of science. Observed differences are a matter of science. The data is out there, and how you explain them is then a separate matter, as was shown in the 'intellectuals' of the title who in the beginning of the 20th century argued that differences proved that blacks were inferior and at the end of the 20th century argued that it proved discrimination.
