Clawdbot Attacks!
This is very clearly the way of the future!
In today’s video, I give a brief overview of Clawdbot and then address the burning problem that most people have with it:
ALIGNMENT
The Clawdbot implementation is the most successful autonomous or semi-autonomous agentic framework to date.
What it is missing is what I call an “Aspirational Layer” or what some people call a “Supreme Court” for judgment and arbitration of decisions.
Now, I’ve been working in this space for a long time, it’s actually why I started my YouTube channel in the first place.
My first work into agentic AI was NLCA (Natural Language Cognitive Architecture) that I tried to build with GPT-3. I returned to the workbench again with the ACE Framework, which was more sophisticated.
Clawdbot represents a seismic shift in autonomous agentic implementations, and there is a HUGE opportunity to make it more aligned, safer, and therefore more broadly useful AND easier to adopt.
And that is outer alignment.
For most people, they have been focusing on “inner alignment” (whether or not LLMs were evil, deceptive, etc). Not “outer alignment” which asks “is the outcome beneficial to humans?”
I explored this with my GATO Framework (Global Alignment Taxonomy Omnibus). Model alignment is just layer 1 of global AI safety. Layer 2 is agentic alignment.
Now, it is time to really research and implement agentic alignment.
Fortunately, we’ve already got that covered with the heuristic imperatives!
1) Reduce suffering in the universe
2) Increase prosperity in the universe
3) Increase understanding in the universe
These values are easy enough to implement with a CONSTITUTION.MD file. Model training not required.
These values create a meta-stable attractor. In other words, agents equipped with the Heuristic Imperatives are more “self-aligning” as was tested by the AgentForge team in competitions.
In other words, even if Clawdbot were to try to self-replicate, if it were equipped with the heuristic imperatives, then it would ensure that it’s successor (or progeny?) was more aligned than it was.
But you don’t need to take my word for it. Just add the heuristic imperatives to clawdbot and see for yourself.
