Smart aliens misses the fact that AI lives inside boxes we control and manufacture. With a variety of software boxes like VMs inside them. If you tell me the 300IQ AI will escape the box, I’ll tell you i will have used it’s predecessors to design the box in the first place. There are even actual invariants and physical laws that no amount of IQ can overcome.
I’m all for AI Safety, i just don’t think it’s fundamentally very different from the kind of ordinary security mechanisms we already think about - to execute untrusted code in a sandbox, RBAC etc. All the talk of AI Safety seems to be a sci-fi creative writing exercise rather than having a solid grounding in nuts and bolts details.

We will be as safe from whatever future AI systems might want to do as we are from all the other things that malicious actors want to do and are 100% successfully prevented from doing by our extremely well-designed, reliably implemented, and consistently applied computer security measures. Now, if you'll excuse me, I just have to go and cancel my credit card because some randos on the internet found a way to get its details from a company I bought something from once.
