Guillaume Verdon (beffjezos), founder of the e/acc movement, argues that violence — the ability to end the persistence of an organism — is a fundamental "alignment mechanism of last resort." He contends the key to keeping the world safe from rogue potent AI is deploying more potent AI as aligned hunters of misaligned AI, and that trying to contain AIs in sandboxes is not a stable equilibrium.
