Aligning those who align AI, one satirical website at a time

The article discusses the creation of a satirical website called the Center for the Alignment of AI Alignment Centers (CAAAC), which aims to poke fun at the growing field of AI alignment research. The website, which appears legitimate at first glance, is designed to mimic the aesthetics and language used by real AI alignment research labs. However, as users spend more time on the site, they discover hidden gems and references that reveal the website's true nature as a parody. The article highlights how CAAAC makes fun of the trend of those working to make AI safe, who are often perceived as drifting away from real-world problems to focus on "very, very theoretical" risks of AI. The website also offers various tongue-in-cheek features, such as a tool to create your own AI center and a job listing for an "AI Alignment Alignment Alignment Researcher" that leads to a Rick Astley song. The article suggests that CAAAC is a satirical attempt to align those who align AI, one website at a time.
