> This contradiction has persisted through the decades. Eliezer has oscillated between “AGI is the most important thing on the planet and only I can build safe AGI” and “anyone who builds AGI will kill everyone.”

This doesn't seem like a contradiction at all given that Eliezer has made clear his views on the importance of aligning AGI before building it, and everybody else seems satisfied with building it first and then aligning it later. And the author certainly knows this, so it's hard to read this as having been written in good faith.

Meanwhile some of us see “alignment” itself as an intrinsically bad thing.
