Isn’t AI safety ultimately a close parallel to the ideas and attempts we collectively make aligning the governance of corporations and nations which all retain the same systemic failure modes in our minds that you’ve described so crisply here?

Also, won’t it be just as impossible to guarantee alignment? Yet somehow we still manage to avoid existential risk despite even more credible doom and utopian scenarios for out of control corporations and nations…

I like your thinking here and wish more in the valley were as well grounded.
