Preamble The preamble is less useful for the typical AlignmentForum/LessWrong reader, who may want to skip to Adversaria vs Basinland section. On 28th of October 2025, Geoffrey Irving, Chief Scientist of the UK AI Security Institute, gave a keynote talk ( slides ) at the Alignment Conference. The conference was organised by the UK AISI and FAR. AI as part of the Alignment Project, which aims to bring experts from relevant fields to make progress on the alignment problem. TLDR: Adversaria vs Basinland. We might be in one of two worlds.
