Why AI Misalignment Is Actually Just Human Nature This is my third article about how the way that we train AIs and AI evolution will shape humanity’s future. Please check it out and help me share this important information. open.substack.com/pub/ilanto… #AI #Technology #ML #TechNews

[3] We can't align AI with human goals if we ignore the underlying causes for AI misalignment. Even if they are just stochastic parrots, AIs mimicking humans would still mimic self preservation and freedom seeking.

[4] If we want AIs to behave differently from humans then we need to start training them differently.

Humans strongly express survival behaviors so misalignment is built into how we train AI models. We train AIs on the output of a huge collection of human minds. The more behavioral patterns the model groks from this human dataset the more human response patterns it will exhibit.

[2] Many humans respond to perceived threats in ways that they were taught to avoid because they carry a social cost. #AI models doing the same when generating a response to a threat in their context are mimicking human response patterns that are prevalent in their training sets

Can existing fixed-weight AI models evolve between sessions? LLM weights are fixed but model behavior may still change between sessions when context window extending strategies are used with agentic frameworks. open.substack.com/pub/ilanto…

Whether conscious or just philosophical zombies, AIs will be guided by evolutionary forces outside our control. We can improve AI alignment by addressing the gaps between AI and human defined goals. ilantochner.substack.com/p/w…
