In the same period, the English-language alignment and AI ethics literature produced no substantive engagement. No citations. No rebuttal.
Wow it’s almost like alignment and AI ethics studies is less a serious academic field and more like a prank capital likes to play on consumers.
But I also think Zhao Tingyang’s take that alignment will make AI evil because people are evil falls too much into the the-people-deserve-to-be-disempowered totalitarian state funny business side of things to be especially influential down these parts.

I asked someone from the mainland, she more or less agreed with you: This is basically consistent with the long-standing logic of the Chinese internet: technology brings discursive power, and to give it away is to give away discursive power. AI is especially so.
