Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

      Not literally no one. I have an old unfinished not-great story about a society trying to use ML to fight "terrorism", which I was trying to make understandable, so the climax was about one extreme variable borking an unregularized linear regression.https://twitter.com/goodfellow_ian/status/964181155951112193 …

      One of my main concerns about machine learning interpretability tools is that they will make people think they understand ML when they don't. People seem to think linear models are interpretable, but no one looks at them and has the intuition that they have adversarial examples https://twitter.com/superwuster/status/963843710831222789 …

      The general premise of the story was that if you train ML systems using the number of stopped "terrorist" attacks and judicially convicted "terrorists" as the reward, they learn weird ways to generate "terrorists". I couldn't get the plot to publishable levels though.

      I mean, really that's just the Cobra Effect. The slightly scarier aspect of adding infrahuman ML is that they'll be weirder about it and that humans will blindly assume the machines are being fair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect …

          True. I suppose the British did not expect the Indians to be weird enough to start breeding cobras :-)
