Pluralistic alignment is thriving as a research agenda yet failing at its goal: making the AI systems people actually use more pluralistic🌈 🚨New position paper: we argue adoption in deployed models should be the fields main goal & we provide a roadmap of how to get there 🧵1/

Sycophancy, disempowerment, homogenization of thought: lots to be grim about for what AI is doing to us, the collapse of our subjectivity into a machine "objectivity". But a lot of AI's value seems to come precisely from scaling this objectivity. How do we make sense of this?

“Should I fear death?” Ask an LLM and you get one answer or a big bag, but little visibility into the decisions and assumptions that produced them. We built the "conceptual multiverse": a system that makes those decisions transparent and intervenable. multiverse.csail.mit.edu
