- "The first AI systems capable of pivotal acts will use good consequentialist reasoning."
- "The default AI development path will not produce good consequentialist reasoning at the top level."
- "Therefore, on the default AI development path, the first AI systems capable of pivotal acts will have good consequentialist subsystem reasoning but not good consequentialist top-level reasoning."
- "Consequentialist subsystem reasoning will likely come “packaged with a random goal” in some sense, and this goal will not be aligned with human interests."
- "Therefore, the default AI development path will produce, as the first AI systems capable of pivotal acts, AI systems with goals not aligned with human interests, causing catastrophe."
Taking Owen's suggestion,[1] we can change this to:
- "The first AI systems capable of pivotal acts will use good consequentialist reasoning."
- this could be false if we have something like KANSI or Drexler's CAIS
- "The default AI development path will not produce good consequentialist reasoning at the top level."
- "Consequentialist subsystem reasoning will likely come “packaged with a random goal” in some sense, and this goal will not be aligned with human interests."
- this is the hypothesis paul attacks: he is saying, even without top-level consequentialist reasoning, we can align AI systems.
- AI systems capable of pivotal acts with goals not aligned with human interests will cause catastrophe.

- "If you have an overseer who is smarter than the agent you are trying to train, you can safely use that overseer’s judgment as an objective."
- "We can train an RL system using very sparse feedback, so it’s OK if that overseer is very computationally expensive."
- "A team of aligned agents may be smarter than any individual agent, while remaining aligned."
