My documentaries, the documentaries that I recommend

A gloss over on the topic of Logic:

...a great analysis and case in point on why Sam Harris is short sighted on the problem of blind faith!

Societal Collapse a comprehensive study:

A stroll through "the zone"...

The problem of alignment didn't start with AI, it was all over us since the beginning with ecosystems and life at large...alignment usually is strategic, negotiated and short term for the most part, there are a few exceptions with the other meaning of "convergent evolution", in which two organisms enter a symbiosis state of full co-operation but even there there is not equal status on who controls who and who profits more...

...the whole AI expert world has been debating forms of aligning AI with our interests without paying an ounce of attention to Nature around us in its state of perpetual war, and even in our human world to how easy societies and civilizations crumble precisely because the game of alignment is hard to build and easy to destroy...

The following video brings up the topic with one of those experts...skip the cheesy pleasantry introduction of the author and take a look:

...fish and chips from Portugal...

I watched all the episodes of the idle chats as a young adult... I saw, and now I've seen again, how the interviewers' questions and interpellations have aged poorly in their clash with the fable, the mysticism, and the metaphysics of Professor Agostinho da Silva... he was as genuinely lazy as anyone can be... and because of being lazy he was more of a person than all the parrots that passed in front of him!...

A kid with quirks and a fury in my nose, "half a dozen of me", even back then, I disagreed with the professor on many non-essential things... but I never doubted the person, the authenticity, and the fundamentals that lay at the heart of his thought. He did barroom philosophy, the good old-fashioned way, like no one else... he never tiptoed about anything, and from what I saw, I wasn't surprised he talked more to beggars than to doctors, because they were better listeners!

Agostinho da Silva was often evasive in his answers... and of all the reasons and conjectures that can be concocted to explain his stubbornness in sidetracking, I saw his greatest reason as his extreme sensitivity to the power of doubt, yet without ever, in the act of doubting almost everything, allowing himself to be robbed of the essential (as Camus and his godchildren did).

In the Essential, which he intuited and preserved like a mystic, who in his extreme minimalism asserted little because he wisely knew himself to be an ignorant creature...thus maintaining in the process the certainty of losing almost nothing by being poor at using adjectives willy nilly!

He did so to avoid the temptations of the eloquently foolish dissertation of intellectuals who, by asserting everything, are condemned to the median and mediocre average of being wrong half the time due to statistical variation that doesn't distinguish them from a monkey machine-gunning a typewriter!

He believed in God, and I didn't...but he didn't specify...he spoke of creationism and creativity...more as a phenomenon of life, without ever suspecting of the eternal essence of the absolute! Our curly-haired Agostinho was as ancient as Adamastor and as a poet and a child the most modern in the beautiful, simple smile of someone who knew how to live life!
