Individual snowflakes are not capable of abstract reasoning.

Can we make it a requirement for ourselves to limit our power to our ability to keep that power safe?

I think that’s a superset of the problem of incentive alignment in AI safety, so probably not... but we also shouldn’t let the perfect to be the enemy of the improved.
