Yes, this is the crux of the idiocy of AGI development. All the labs admit they don't have any real mechanistic interpretability, they don't really have any plan for what to do, except "we think the smart AI will figure it out" and "look we're in a race, we're calling on governments to figure out what to do". All indicators show scaling laws holding and the trajectory of capabilities development outpacing any inkling of alignment. Meanwhile HN is so reactionary and behind-the-puck these days we just get endless blathering of the most asinine takes of "they're not improving anymore so they want regulation suddenly!" when all lab leaders have been talking about these risks for practically a decade, including Yoshua Bengio and Geoffrey Hinton coming around.
