Turing Test (astralcodexten.substack.com)

One rainy evening at a bar, Eliezer told Sam Altman

"AI could be the end of us, your research has to halt, man

We can't maintain control; alignment isn't the default, man

So just in case, slow down your pace," Eliezer told Sam Altman

-

"Slow down yourself, it's not so bad," said Sam to Eliezer

"We'll dial the caution up when there's a danger we can measure

And once we've got a lead, we'll solve alignment at our leisure

Then even odds, we'll be as gods," said Sam to Eliezer

-

With downcast eyes and heavy heart, Eliezer left Sam Altman

Some years go by, and AGI progresses to assault man

Atop a pile of paper clips he screams "It's not my fault, man!"

But Eliezer's long since dead, and cannot hear Sam Altman.
