Cool experiment Zach!
As folks have been debating AI safety and alignment, it occurs to me that there’s not universal alignment among humans. Per the stat you surfaced: 81% of humans pulled the lever, 19% didn’t.
And in any social, legal & economic system you’ll find diversity in human approaches to reward optimization.
Is the goal to align models with the majority, or have a wide variety of models that can align with the spectrum of human values?
