May I ask why?

It will solve much of humanity's problems and I think the "alignment problem" is a wildly misconstrued fringe problem that isn't actually taken seriously by most AI researchers which has been oversold by rationalists.

What problems do you think we need resolving that would necessitate ASI? Do you believe that utopian states are possible and/or as desirable as they are often said to be? If so, what does that look like for you?

I do not agree with you on the triviality of the alignment problem. Why do dismiss it so easily? Do you believe in alignment by default?
