I thought Zvi was pretty clear that his point is that, in a sense, ‘we’ (humanity) are not smart enough to respond to the ‘fire alarms’ that already do exist; not that they’re actually already a socially acceptable alarm.
If they are not a socially acceptable alarm, they aren’t fire alarms, according to the definition set out by Yudkowsky in the linked post. Zvi can use the word differently if he likes, but since he linked to the Yudkowsky piece I thought it worth mentioning that Yudkowsky means something different by it than Zvi does.

That seems entirely clear in what Zvi wrote tho:
