Lazareyn Predicts Inevitable 'Bad Models' Requiring Better AI

Eddie Lazareyn states that the emergence of 'bad' AI models is inevitable, comparing the situation to how other entities like corporations and countries are not perfectly aligned. He asserts that the only effective response to these inevitable misaligned models will be the development of 'good' models to counter them.

“It also means that it is inevitable that there will be bad unaligned models. It is totally inevitable. If anybody is going out there and saying, We can end up in a world where there are no bad models, they are lying to you.”
Eddie Lazareyn
“Of course, there will be. That's just an absurd way of thinking. Right? And the only way to deal with that will be better models. Good models. Good models.”
