I bet superalignment is indistinguishable from religion (the spiritual, not manipulative kind), so proponents get frequency-pulled into the well-established cult leader pipeline. It's a quagmire to navigate so we can't have both open and enlightening discussions about what is going on.

It's also making sure AI is aligned with "our" intent and that "our" is a board made up of large corporations.
If AI did run away and do it's own thing (seems super unlikely) it's probably a crapshoot as to whether what it does is worse than the environmental apocalypse we live in where the rich continue to get richer and the poor poorer.
