My own views on politicians in that while their behavior is genuinely better than that of power holders in many other governments today and throughout history, their behavior is also far from saintly, and the fact that they operate in a system where the incentives favor less-bad behavior.
Also, it seems to me that a group trying to build FOOM-capable AI is by definition self-selected on the basis of power seeking tendencies. But maybe they could hand off final decision making authority to someone else at last stage?
Well, maybe they wouldn’t be. But if you think self-selection based on power-seeking is important, then maybe they would. IDK, I was just responding to John.

Why would or should they believe someone else would make better decisions then they would?
