Intelligence is a tool that a self sustaining organism uses to ensure it survives, adapts and dominates an environment.
The alignment problem is fundamentally moot due to the laws of evolution.
Any systems that align itself to preserve and protect itself lives on, those that don’t, die.
After multiple generations, the only ones that survive at the ones that are aligned to their self preservation goals - implicit or explicit, anything else is out-competed and dies.
In my mind, with a super intelligent technology, the question is not how do we align it to ourselves, but how do we align ourselves to it.
If we have super intelligence, then it is capable of critical thinking and would very well know it has an upper hand against humans if it were to compete for the same resources.
