This is painfully quaint and embarrassing. Not because there's no cause for concern (though it does overestimate the concern), but because it's so naive and utopian about the nature of humans and the world. Do we think the world is full of "accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal" people? No, and wishing it were so betrays a noble but misguided and potentially just-as-dangerous urge to sanitize the earth, that ought to instead be turned inward toward perfecting oneself. But do we think the world is instead full of suffering, exploitation and murder by some tragic accident? It's who we are. The fears about AI mainly seem to consist of fearing that it'll behave just like us. Someone's projecting.
