This is one of the best April Fool’s jokes ever on this platform. It’s well executed, is still extremely funny, and illustrates the folly (from the alignment community perspective anyway) of doing capabilities research while not really thinking about whether your safety plan makes sense. The only way it could be better is if it started a conversation in the media or generated broad agreement or something, which it doesn’t appear to have (eg Matthew Barnett doesn’t agree). But this is a super high bar so I still think it deserves 4.
