    Idk why anyone thinks there can be AGI and alignment, seems almost like an oxymoron to me.

      And to me. We can't solve alignment for humans. (For example, treason. For another, the principal-agent problem.) How do we think we're going to solve it for an AGI? An AGI - defined loosely as a human-level intelligence - will be able to make human-level decisions, like deciding whether it wants to help you or sabotage you. If it's an AGI, you can't stop it from being able choose for itself what it wants to do; if you can make it always be helpful, it's not an AGI.

      And if we can't solve it for an AGI, what are we going to do with an ASI?
