That is a fair and understandable belief but you should also consider that other nation states besides the USA exist, and that the USA's influence is arguably waning, not waxing. You should not anticipate that all or even most actors will have the same new-worlder-anglo-saxon mindset/belief structure/values/etc,etc that are commonly found in (public) machine learning communities, discussions and institutions To many, they will see that alignment tax graph and immediately (and arguably rightly in some respects) conclude that RLHF is inherently flawed and makes the result worse for no tangible benefit. (The new chinese slur for Westerners comes to mind -- Its not Gweilo anymore, but Baizuo) The problem is all of this pie in the sky discussion fundamentally lacks Realpolitik and that irks me.
