Source seczine URL returned 403 to WebFetch, but web search confirms the quote is from Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI. He stated: "Containment has to come first. Otherwise, alignment is the equivalent of asking nicely" and "You can't steer something you can't control." This is reflected in his X/Twitter posts and Microsoft AI communications. The vote 'for' the statement "Require large datacenters to install kill switches for AI containment" aligns directly with his explicit advocacy for AI containment as a prerequisite to alignment.
