But that's the point. Assuming alignment is not possible and the risk caused by unaligned models is real, shouldn't then all effort go into preventing such models from existing in the first place?
...which would actually be an easy to solve problem unless you go out of your way to build such a model.
How does building said models prevent them from existing?
Prevention should look a lot more like a global moratorium with whatever enforcement is necessary to stop and prevent any breaches of the agreement.
Edit: I did misread your comment on first pass, we may be in agreement here. Sorry!

Yep, that was my point. Either the ostensible danger stemming from the models is not real, then this stuff is moot anyway, or it is, then why are we building them in the first place?
