Re 1) this relates to the strategy stealing assumption: your aligned AI can use whatever strategy unaligned AIs use to maintain and grow their power. Killing the competition is one strategy but there are many others including defensive actions and earning money / resources.
Edit: I implicitly said that it’s okay to have unaligned AIs as long as you have enough aligned ones around. For example we may not need aligned companies if we have (minimally) aligned government+law enforcement.
I don’t think the strategy-stealing assumption holds here: it’s pretty unlikely that we’ll build a fully aligned ‘sovereign’ AGI even if we solve alignment; it seems easier to make something corrigible / limited instead, ie something that is by design less powerful than would be possible if we were just pushing capabilities.
I don’t mean to imply that we’ll build a sovereign AI (I doubt it too).
Corrigible is more what I meant. Corrigible but not necessarily limited. Ie minimally intent aligned AIs which won’t kill you but by the strategy stealing assumption can still compete with unaligned AIs.
