i would like for more alignment people to think about avoiding the value capture of the lightcone. many prefer the ending of history, the monopole, to tiny percent probabilities of armageddon
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
OpenAI researcher roon critiques alignment community preferences, arguing that a permanent value "monopole" lock-in (single value system capturing the entire future light cone) is being underweighted as a risk relative to armageddon-probability, i.e. that avoiding small extinction risk shouldn't come at the cost of a totalizing single-value future. Relevant to AI governance/long-term-future debates Nathan follows.
