Humans Are Alignment Generators
ai
In a new essay on LessWrong, James Stephen Brown reflects on Emmett Shear's claim that humans are alignment generators. Shear, the former Twitch CEO who briefly led OpenAI, now runs AI alignment at the startup Softmax, and he's shifting focus from large language models to multi-agent systems. Brown connects this to the idea that human intelligence evolved through cooperation, and that our ability to understand other minds — what psychologists call theory of mind — extends to groups. The essay is the first in a second series on alignment, promising to explore the dark side of cooperation next.
