That is to say, this is assuming that there is a difference in type between the sorts of heuristics that a pretrained and not superhuman LLM will reach for, and those necessary to be superinteligent. There is always the chance that you just select for regular engineering, but you always reach for the right branch first. Since the right branch is also one that the regular persona would have generated, then the number of bits of selction towards danger is at most the number of bits of selection between a safe and a RLed persona.
This model has personas as moral up until the RL step that makes them sufficiently inhuman.
