My view is that the entire "friendly AI" movement, and indeed the very idea that it is even possible to align an AGI, is sheer hubris. Assuming the qualities of AGI are what its proponents claim (namely, intelligence far beyond the upper limit of human intelligence), humans "aligning" such an entity is laughable. We've had spacecraft built by highly intelligent engineers lost because they overlooked a metric/imperial conversion, and similar people believe that they can devise a watertight scheme to effectively contain an adversarial superintelligence? The smartest humans can barely contain very small aspects of the regular Universe, and the Universe isn't even targeting them like an AGI would.
