Even their fellow communists in China have criticized them for their lack of reforms




It's very funny that China is generally trying to lead fellow communists into the sin of market socialism, and failing. Lee Kuan Yew, in One man's view of the world, 2013:




Q: How much influence does China still have over North Korea?






A: The survival of North Korea depends heavily on China. From time to time North Koreans were almost starving because of the way they run the economy, and China gave them food and succour.






Q: Do you see this status quo prevailing even over 20, 30 years? Is there a risk of North Korea imploding?






A: No, I don’t think so. Why should it implode? It reached near starvation at one time, the Chinese provided the food, the world also helped.






Q: Is it in the interest of China to encourage North Korea to open up its economy as Deng Xiaoping did to China?






A: Well, they took Kim Jong-il around to Shanghai and so on to show him how he could improve his economy without losing control, but nothing came out of it. There is some speculation that the regime may carry out economic reforms under its new leadership, but it is too early to tell if young Kim will be bold enough to take that route.




Seeing reports from Russian tourists in North Korea today, though, I guess young Kim did eventually grow willing or capable of some liberalization.

My position is that I reject your premises.




a) Anthropic's AI develops extremely superhuman capabilities in the vein of "overthrow the United States Government, make no mistakes".




This is extremely naive, to the point of not being worth engaging with. Ask your favorite LLM to explain what other more mundane scenarios exist for an American corporation that has a "country of geniuses in a datacenter", generates a large proportion of the nation's GDP and has most of the population outsourcing their thinking to it to acquire political control over several years. Fable would be the best option, but new Kimi K3 also should suffice.




I am not sure why you are so confident alignment is easy, given the abysmal state of mech interp relative to capabilities




Mech interp is a red herring frame that Anthropic uses to advance their pretrain and posttrain capabilities. The whole alignment-capabilities dichotomy is a sad artifact of Lesswrong tradition which is proving to be irrelevant in the era of DL. We just optimize very smart networks towards intended behaviors, and they don't strongly distinguish between knowing and caring. Rationalists were dumb.




FOOM from "mundane" capabilities overlooked by the nation-state




Does the nation state care about crushing a cultural or commercial interest that's about to dominate the US? Did the nation state try to stop wokeness when it marched through the institutions, does the nation state attempt to prevent being overrun by this insane Trumpism? Is the nation state even a real coherent actor? The government is not the CCP, it's a transient expression of the US as a whole.
