Yeah, these well meaning safety / human alignment ideas sound more like centrally planned communism. In theory, good for everyone, in practice bad for everyone.
Interestingly socialist Europe(45% of gdp) and even capitalistic usa (25%) collect and redistribute more in tax revenue than Russia (10%) and China (12%). Numbers from memory maybe slightly off.
The flaw in communism was the central planning. The flaw in ai safety / alignment is also the central planning. Capitalism redistributed more wealth to the poor. Decentralized ai will distribute more benefits to humans than a centralized ai, even if it’s openly planned.
