Someone please tell Altman and Musk they can spend their fortunes on millions of uber-genius children if they please, and they don’t have to spend it all on their contest to replace ourselves with the steel & copper successors.
Altman and Musk are arguably already misaligned relative to humanity’s best interests. Why would you expect smarter versions of them to be more aligned? That only makes sense if we’re in an “alignment by default” world for superbabies, which is far from obvious.
There’s a good chance their carbon children would have about the same attitude towards AI development as they do. So I suspect you’d end up ruled by their silicon grandchildren.

I would vote to be ruled by their carbon children instead of their silicon children for certain

Good point! I didn’t think that far ahead
