I keep seeing versions of this post, which imply a bizarre misunderstanding of how we know the world.

Do people imagine that if we'd never observed galaxies or neutrinos or exoplanets or the cosmic microwave background, we could have *imagined* these things & that would be just as real?

Or that we've magically reached the point, just now, where we no longer need to observe the world?

GenAI's real alignment problem: We don't need its solutions and we can't handle its intrinsic problems

https://parsingphase.dev/tech/LLMs/theAlignmentProblem.html

A work in 4000 words of progress. Turns out there's no concise way to catalog this mess.

GenAI has an Alignment Problem - we don’t need its solutions and we can’t handle its intrinsic problems

@indutny @serapath (as a maintainer i found it that drawing the line at 0 is by far the most tractable choice. something doesn't get done otherwise? cool, then it's not needed enough)

@serapath @indutny I don't think it's a particularly healthy approach to switch to the next best/uprising thing. Especially when it's a socio-technical matter thing that the alternative solutions will inevitably run into discussing as well.

I'd put it like this: Let's fight first. We can still boycott and switch to another solution later.

My genuine hope is that this can spark a broader change. Empower communities on other platforms, and see this become a grassroots movement of users deciding whether AI should be welcome in their communities, and to what extent. On their own terms.

A pushback against the #enshittification and forceful push of AI by so many companies in these last few years.

In a way I'm glad that we started discourse on LLM use in Node.js core because it revealed to me that there are a lot more people who are not in AI hype-cycle than I previously thought. I'm now much more optimistic about the future of software engineering!

Consider this:

- 87.3% upvote ratio with 298 upvotes on /r/node
- 76.6% upvote ratio with 50 upvotes on /r/javascript (and I just posted it)
- Incredibly supportive comments on HN (!!!)

Some people asked me if I could offer a way to sign the petition without having a github account, so I created a mirror (?) on Change.org:

https://www.change.org/p/no-ai-code-in-node-js-core

Github is still a preferred way to sign this, but if for some reason this doesn't work for you - at least now you have an alternative way to make your voice heard!
