A video essay examining the AI alignment debate through a structural lens. Combining Max Tegmark’s 12 possible AI futures with Yudkowsky and Soares’ alignment arguments, this video argues the real alignment problem isn’t technical — it’s about who controls the most consequential technology in human history.

Who is building superhuman AI? A handful of unelected executives in Northern California. For whom? Shareholders, not humanity. Under what pressures? A competitive race where the most reckless actor sets the pace for everyone.

Drawing on historical parallels from leaded gasoline to asbestos, the video argues the same pattern repeats: a small group captures benefits while everyone pays costs. The solution isn’t more alignment research — it’s democratic governance of AI development.
