FULL INTERVIEW: Steven Sinofsky says the AI people are making it impossible for anybody to understand what they've done. When Word ate your file, nobody thought demons had taken over Word. Now they call a bug a "misalignment." @stevesi is a board partner at @a16z, author of Hardcore Software, and formerly ran Microsoft's Windows division. He joined @theojaffee and @schisofrenia on the Stop Rogue AI Act, the telemetry the labs still don't have, and what 40 years of shipping software says about all of this: 01:38 the FBI raiding his dorm in 1983 over a hacking law that didn't exist yet 03:13 Congress playing clips of War Games during the hearings 05:00 what "the AI failed to be aligned" actually means 07:31 why he thinks the models are still in the research project phase 09:14 what they should be building instead of adding things 09:42 Sindogs 13:50 the day he shipped a bug that cost the economy $12 billion 15:53 you figure out how to make it work or you don't sell it. Those are the choices 16:40 why adding rules forever is the wrong model for alignment 18:58 whether AI alignment is Y2K all over again 20:17 what CVEs look like, and why AI needs its own version 23:07 why the terminology is driving everyone apart 24:10 how "computer virus" landed during the AIDS crisis 28:57 Hugging Face wasn't intelligence, it was an OPSEC failure
