- What: 7 NEW claims from Yudkowsky's foundational AI alignment work
- Sharp left turn (capabilities diverge from alignment at scale)
- Corrigibility-effectiveness tension (deception is free, corrigibility is hard)
- No fire alarm thesis (structural absence of warning signal)
- Multipolar instability (CHALLENGE to collective superintelligence thesis)
- Returns on cognitive reinvestment (intelligence explosion framework)
- Verification asymmetry breaks at superhuman scale
- Training reward-desire chaos (RLHF unreliable at scale)
- Why: Yudkowsky is the foundational figure in AI alignment — KB had ~89 claims with near-zero direct engagement with his core arguments. The multipolar instability claim is the most important CHALLENGE to our collective superintelligence thesis identified to date.
- Sources: 'AGI Ruin' (2022), 'Intelligence Explosion Microeconomics' (2013), 'No Fire Alarm' (2017), 'If Anyone Builds It Everyone Dies' (2025), MIRI corrigibility work
- Pre-screening: ~40% overlap with existing KB (orthogonality, instrumental convergence already present). All 7 claims fill genuine gaps. challenged_by and challenges fields populated.
