Pretty sure me and my clone both race to push the button the second we enter the room. I don’t think this has to do with “alignment” per se, though. We both have exactly the same goal: “claim the button for myself” and that sense are perfectly “aligned”.
“have absolute power” is one of my goals. “Let my clone have absolute power” is way lower on the list.
I can imagine situations in which I would try to negotiate something like “create two identical copies of the universe in which we both have absolute power and can never interfere with one another”. But negotiating is hard, and us fighting seems like a much more likely outcome.
