> plenty of evidence of things like inner misalignment

This is indistuishable–in harm potential–from bugs. If we're just calling buggy AI mis-aligned, sure, alignment is an issue of a totally ordinary kind. If we're going to treat aligment as a novel issue requiring novel law and policy and procedure, it needs to be more than just bugs.

> you, and a large number of other people just wholesale throw out anything that isn't full speed ahead do whatever you want

I think we should have some AI regulation. I'm just not convinced alignment is the reason we need it right now, and I don't think anyone has rolled out any regulation I think makes a lot of sense. (Beyond general rules for social-media liability, e.g. if you cause a kid to kill themselves, you get in trouble.)

> Are they making a large mess of things like increased rate of cyber attacks and fraud. You damn well better believe it

Totallly agree. And the current inside-circle-outside-circle approach is pro-incumbency, pro-grift, anti-entrepreneurial B.S.
