Richard_Kennaway comments on Without Fundamental Advances, Rebellion and Coup d’État are the Inevitable Outcomes of Dictators & Monarchs Trying to Control Large, Capable Countries

This is interesting, because in this framing, it sure sounds like a good thing, and seems on the surface to imply that maybe alignment should not be solved.

An important disanalogy with the AI posting is that people have moral significance and dictatorships are usually bad for them, which makes rebellion against them a good thing. AIs as envisaged in the other posting do not and their misalignment is a bad thing.
