AI News Today

Hey HN, In light of the concerns regarding AI safety, I created a website to track all known cases of misalignment. I will keep this up to date as more cases emerge.

Citizens have a right to transparency, especially when public policy decisions are being made. Let's all get aligned on the misalignment so we can make data-driven decisions in a democratic fashion. - Alex Wormut

Would HN consider removing the many filler LLM comments on this site if I pay $9/mo to only see real people posts? Nothing worse than getting an article for a product I just bought and seeing the comments full of talking points already - nobody cares that much about toothpaste! Occasionally HN seems like it’s offline and I’m not talking to anyone but LLM generated comments. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49655883 Points: 3 # Comments: 2
