The 12 Futures of AI: Why the Real Alignment Problem Isn't Technical https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/36758e62-5840-487b-afd8-d27603d4885b A video essay examining the AI alignment debate through a structural lens. Combining Max Tegmark's 12 possible AI futures with Yudkowsky and Soares' alignment arguments, this video argues the real alignment problem isn't technical — it's about who controls the most consequential technology in human history. Who is building superhuman AI? A handful of unelected executives in Northern California. For whom? Shareholders, not humanity. Under what pressures? A competitive race where the most reckless actor sets the pace for everyone. Drawing on historical parallels from leaded gasoline to asbestos, the video argues the same pattern repeats: a small group captures benefits while everyone pays costs. The solution isn't more alignment research — it's democratic governance of AI development. 🔔 Subscribe for more class analysis of technology and power. 📱 Follow on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jorvex609.bsky.social Sun, 07 Jun 2026 02:56:09 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube The 12 Futures of AI: Why the Real Alignment Problem Isn't Technical https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/36758e62-5840-487b-afd8-d27603d4885b All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
