Unfortunately the article is behind a paywall. I would have been interested to see if he makes any substantial arguments. I don't see any reason to believe that AI being software entails that it can be controlled. Moreover, even if a measure of control is possible, giving that control to a handful of oligarchs seems undesirable.

  Seems like it is the uncontrollable aspect to me.

    The oligarchs are under no controls, that’s what I understand from their comment

    I think they are saying...
    the rich and powerful may have so much sway over government that we may not be able to reach "Ai alignment" with society
    ... but not sure I agree, I hope this is not true anyhow
