“At all” is a stronger claim. I’m not saying alignment should receive zero effort and funding. I’m saying that right now slowdown is starved for effort and funding, compared to alignment. Right now, for the person reading my comment, it’s correct to switch from alignment to slowdown.
Of course each individual person working on alignment can say “my case is special”. I’ve talked to quite a few such people recently. Even those who agree with reallocating most effort and funding aren’t reallocating their effort and funding. Looks like irrationality to me.
